There are two standard recipes for SiN and SiO2 deposition at 250C in PECVD#1. Instructions bellow explain how to run process (seasoning, deposition, cleaning).
The wafers used for process calibration are ordered from SVM. These are low particle count 4" Si wafers (particle count<100). The wafers are scanned before and after deposition. They are not re-used. Handling the wafers is important and each step could contribute in adding new particles.The section bellow describes how to run standard recipes for SiN a,d SiO2 at 250C.

There are two standard recipes for SiN and SiO2 deposition at 250C in PECVD#1. Instructions bellow explain how to run process (seasoning, deposition, cleaning).

Standard Si3N4 (Silicon-Nitride) Deposition

SiN Deposition

  1. Log in to PECVD #1
  2. Seasoning
    • Load the seasoning recipe (SiN seasoning), and run it. The goal of this step is to coat chamber walls and prepare it for deposition.
  3. Deposition
    • Vent the chamber and load the substrate (place it in the center of platen). You can place small pieces around the wafer to protect it from moving.
    • Pump down.
    • Load the deposition recipe (SiN@250C), and run it. Deposition time is variable. Get the rate from historical data.
    • Unload the wafer.
  4. Cleaning
    • Wipe sidewall first with DI water, followed by IPA.
    • Load the cleaning recipe (CH4/O2 clean). Edit the recipe and enter required time for cleaning.
    • Log out

Standard Oxide, SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) Deposition

SiO2 Deposition

  1. Log in to PECVD #1
  2. Seasoning
    • Load the seasoning recipe( SiO2 seasoning), and run it. The goal of this step is to coat chamber walls and prepare it for deposition.
  3. Deposition
    • Vent the chamber and load the substarte (place it in the center of platen). You can place small pieces around the wafer to protect it from moving.
    • Pump down.
    • Load the deposition recipe( SiO2@250C), and run it. Deposition time is variable. Get the rate from historical data.
    • Unload the wafer.
  4. Cleaning
    • Wipe sidewall first with DI water, followed by IPA.
    • Load for cleaning recipe (CF4/O2). Edit the recipe and enter required time for cleaning.
    • Log out
