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 19):
The hardmask layer of  claim 18 , wherein the hardmask layer comprises from about 50 to about 70 atomic percentage of tungsten, from about 10 to about 30 atomic percentage of carbon, and from about 10 to about 20 atomic percentage of boron.
