Abstract:
A method for performing gap fill of a feature on a substrate includes the following operations: (a) moving the substrate into a process chamber; (b) performing a plurality of cycles of an ALD process; (c) purging process gases from the ALD process from the process chamber; (d) performing a plasma treatment on the substrate by introducing a fluorine-containing gas into the process chamber and applying RF power to the fluorine-containing gas to generate a fluorine plasma in the process chamber; (e) purging process gases from the plasma treatment from the process chamber; (f) repeating operations (b) through (e) until a predefined number of cycles has been performed.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for performing gap fill of a feature on a substrate, comprising:\n (a) moving the substrate into a process chamber; (b) performing a plurality of cycles of an atomic layer deposition process on the substrate in the process chamber, the atomic layer deposition process being configured to deposit an oxide in the feature of the substrate; (c) purging process gases from the atomic layer deposition process from the process chamber; (d) performing a plasma treatment on the substrate by introducing a fluorine-containing gas into the process chamber and applying RF power to the fluorine-containing gas to generate a fluorine plasma in the process chamber; (e) purging process gases from the plasma treatment from the process chamber; (f) repeating operations (b) through (e) until a predefined plurality of cycles of operations (b) through (e) has been performed; (g) performing a plurality of cycles of the atomic layer deposition process.
