Abstract
Described herein are conformal films and methods for forming a conformal metal or metalloid doped silicon nitride dielectric film wherein the conformal metal is zirconium, hafnium, titanium, tantalum, or tungsten. A method includes providing a substrate in a reactor; introducing into the reactor an at least one metal precursor which reacts; purging the reactor with a purge gas; introducing into the reactor an organoaminosilane precursors to react on at least a portion of the surface of the substrate to provide a chemisorbed layer; introducing a plasma comprising nitrogen and an inert gas into the reactor to react with at least a portion of the chemisorbed layer and provide at least one reactive site wherein the plasma is generated; and optionally purge the reactor with an inert gas; and the steps are repeated until a desired thickness of the conformal metal nitride film is obtained.
