Abstract:
1. A method for depositing a nitrogen-containing material on a substrate, comprising: performing a first chamber seasoning process by depositing a silicon nitride seasoning layer over a surface of a chamber component in a processing chamber without the substrate being present; after the first chamber seasoning process, processing a first substrate within the processing chamber to deposit a nitrogen-containing material layer on the first substrate; after the deposition of the nitrogen-containing material layer on the first substrate, performing a second chamber seasoning process without the substrate being present to deposit a conductive seasoning layer over the surface of the chamber component in the processing chamber; after the second chamber seasoning process, processing a second substrate within the processing chamber to deposit a nitrogen-containing material layer on the second substrate; and after the deposition of the nitrogen-containing material layer on the second substrate, performing a third chamber seasoning process to deposit a silicon nitride seasoning layer over the surface of the chamber component in the processing chamber without the substrate being present.
