Abstract

A processing apparatus and method for depositing a silicon oxide layer on a temperature sensitive wafer utilizing a single process chamber provide nitrous oxide gas to the chamber with the excitation energy being provided by a remotely generated plasma while supplying silane gas in combination with illuminating the wafer with an in situ generated ultraviolet energy to produce the silicon oxide layer.
