ABSTRACT:
According to various embodiments, the present teachings include methods for reducing first wafer defects in a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition process. In an exemplary embodiment, the method can include running a deposition chamber for deposition of film on a first batch of silicon wafers and then cleaning interior surfaces of the deposition chamber. The method can further include inserting a protective electrostatic chuck cover (PEC) wafer on an electrostatic chuck in the deposition chamber and applying power to bias the PEC wafer while simultaneously precoating the deposition chamber with an oxide. The exemplary method can also include re-starting the deposition chamber for deposition of film on a second batch of silicon wafers.
