Abstract:
Implementations of the present disclosure generally relate to the fabrication of integrated circuits. More particularly, the implementations described herein provide techniques for deposition of hardmask films on a substrate. In one implementation, a method of forming a hardmask layer on a substrate is provided. The method comprises forming a seed layer on a substrate by supplying a seed layer gas mixture in a processing chamber. The method further includes forming a transition layer comprising tungsten, boron and carbon on the seed layer by supplying a transition layer gas mixture in the processing chamber. The method further includes forming a bulk hardmask layer comprising tungsten, boron and carbon on the transition layer by supplying a main deposition gas mixture in the processing chamber.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising supplying a low frequency RF power while forming the transition layer and forming the bulk hardmask layer.
