A process of atomic layer deposition for the deposition of silicon oxide on a substrate, performed at room temperature, involving at least three precursors, being silicon tetrachloride, water and one Lewis base agent, being in various instances ammonia. The process comprises the steps of exposing on the substrate during an exposure time (a) the one Lewis base agent, (b) the silicon tetrachloride, and (c) the water. The process is remarkable in that at least one step of purge with nitrogen gas is performed after each of the steps (a), (b) and (c) during a purge time. Additionally, a film of silicon oxide which is remarkable in that it comprises a low level of chlorine contaminant and a significant degree of porosity with pores, the pores being in various instances micropores, mesopores or nanopores.

A method for processing a target object by using a capacitively coupled plasma processing apparatus includes a first step of supplying a first gas containing a silicon-containing gas into the processing chamber where a target object is accommodated; a second step of generating a plasma of a rare gas in the processing chamber after executing the first step; a third step of generating a plasma of a second gas containing oxygen gas in the processing chamber after executing the second step; and a fourth step of generating a plasma of a rare gas in the processing chamber after executing the third step. A silicon oxide film is formed by repeatedly executing a sequence including the first step to the fourth step. A negative DC voltage is applied to the upper electrode in at least any one of the second step to the fourth step.

Improved methods are disclosed for catalyst-assisted atomic layer deposition (ALD) to form a silicon dioxide layer having superior properties on a semiconductor substrate by using a first reactant component consisting of a silicon compound having at least two silicon atoms, or using a tertiary aliphatic amine as the catalyst component, or both in combination, together with related purging methods and sequencing.

The present methods provide tools for growing conformal metal thin films (150), including metal nitride, metal carbide and metal nitride carbide thin films. In particular, methods are provided for growing such films from aggressive chemicals. The amount of corrosive chemical compounds, such as hydrogen halides, is reduced during the deposition of transition metal, transition metal carbide, transition metal nitride and transition metal nitride carbide thin films on various surfaces, such as metals and oxides. Getter compounds protect surfaces sensitive to hydrogen halides and ammonium halides, such as aluminum, copper, silicon oxide and the layers being deposited, against corrosion. Nanolaminate structures incorporating metallic thin films, and methods for forming the same, are also disclosed.
摘要:
A first compound having an atom in an oxidized state is reacted with a bis(trimethylsilyl) six-membered ring system or related compound to form a second compound having the atom in a reduced state relative to the first compound. The atom in an oxidized state is selected from the group consisting of Groups 2-12 of the Periodic Table, the lanthanides, As, Sb, Bi, Te, Si, Ge, Sn, and Al.

The present invention relates to the production of porous thin films, in particular by atomic layer deposition. The present invention relates to a process for producing porous films comprising the steps (a) exposing a solid substrate to a vapor containing an organic compound (A), whereby a submonolayer of the organic compound (A) covalently bound to the surface of the solid substrate is formed, (b) exposing the solid substrate to a vapor containing a compound of general formula (I) SiX 4 (I), wherein X is hydrogen, a halogen, an alkoxy, an aryloxy, or an amine group, (c) exposing the solid substrate to a vapor containing an organic compound (B) which has at least two functional groups out of which at least one can form a covalent bond with the surface-bound organic compound (A), (d) performing the steps (d1) exposing the solid substrate to a vapor containing water, and (d2) exposing the solid substrate to a vapor containing a compound of general formula (I), (e) exposing the solid substrate to a vapor containing an organic compound (C) which has at least two functional groups out of which at least one can form a covalent bond to the surface-bound organic compound (B),
(f) removing organic parts from the film formed on the surface of the solid substrate.

An ambient pressure Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique to grow uniform silica layers onto organic substrates at low temperatures, including room temperature, is described. For example, tetramethoxysilane vapor is used alternately with ammonia vapor as a catalyst in an ambient environment.
摘要:
Germanium, tellurium, and/or antimony precursors are usefully employed to form germanium-, tellurium- and/or antimony-containing films, such as films of GeTe, GST, and thermoelectric germanium-containing films. Processes for using these precursors to form amorphous films are also described. Further described is the use of [{nBuC(iPrN) 2 } 2 Ge] or Ge butyl amidinate to form GeTe smooth amorphous films for phase change memory applications.
