摘要:
A method of limiting sticking of a body (38, substrate) to a susceptor (18) after the body (38) has been coated with a layer in a deposition chamber (12) by plasma chemical vapor deposition includes subjecting the coated body (38) to a plasma of an inactive gas, e.g., hydrogen, nitrogen, argon or ammonia, which does not adversely affect the coating and does not add additional layers to the body (38). After the coated body (38) is subjected to the plasma of the inactive gas, the body (38) is separated from the susceptor (18).
摘要:
A multi-step process is used to condition a chemical vapor deposition chamber after cleaning and between successive depositions by removing fluorine residues from the chamber with a hydrogen plasma, and subsequently depositing a solid compound in the chamber to encapsulate any particulates remaining in the chamber.
摘要:
A method of depositing layers (54, 56) of intrinsic amorphous silicon and doped amorphous silicon sequentially on a substrate (50) in the same CVD chamber without incurring a dopant contamination problem. The method can be carried out by first depositing an additional layer of a dielectric insulating material prior to the deposition process of the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer (54). The additional layer of insulating material deposited on the substrate should have a thickness such that residual insulating material coated on the chamber walls is sufficient to cover the residual dopants on the chamber walls left by the deposition process of the previous substrate. This provides a clean environment for the next deposition process of an intrinsic amorphous silicon layer (54) on a substrate (50) in the same CVD chamber.

摘要:
Multilayer deposition of thin films onto glass substrates to form thin film transistors can be carried out in the same chamber (120) under similar reaction conditions at high deposition rates. We have found that sequential thin layers of silicon nitride and amorphous silicon can be deposited in the same chamber by chemical vapor deposition using pressure of at least 0.5 Torr and substrate temperatures of about 250-370 o C. Subsequently deposited different thin films can also be deposited in separate chemical vapor deposition chambers (122, 124, 126) which are part of a single multichamber vacuum system (111).

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of improving the interface between a surface and a layer which is deposited on the surface. The surface can be the surface of a body (38) or the surface of a layer deposited on a body (38). The surface is subjected to the plasma of an inactive gas which does not adversely affect the surface or deposit a layer thereon. Then the surface is subjected to a plasma of a deposition gas which causes the deposition gas to decompose and deposit a layer on the surface.
