20130217241 | TREATMENTS FOR DECREASING ETCH RATES AFTER FLOWABLE DEPOSITION OF SILICON-CARBON-AND-NITROGEN-CONTAINING LAYERS - Methods are described for forming and curing a flowable silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer on a semiconductor substrate. The silicon and carbon constituents may come from a silicon and carbon containing precursor while the nitrogen may come from a nitrogen-containing precursor that has been activated to speed the reaction of the nitrogen with the silicon-and-carbon-containing precursor at lower deposition chamber temperatures.

Removal of the components increases etch resistance in order to allow the gapfill silicon-carbon-and-nitrogen-containing layer to remain intact during subsequent processing. The treatments have been found to decrease the evolution of properties of the film upon exposure to atmosphere. | 08-22-2013 |
