摘要:
A gas detector and process for detecting a fluorine-containing species in a gas containing same, e.g., an effluent of a semiconductor processing tool undergoing etch cleaning with HF, NF3, etc. The detector in a preferred structural arrangement employs a microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based device structure and/or a free-standing metal element that functions as a sensing component and optionally as a heat source when elevated temperature sensing is required. The free-standing metal element can be fabricated directly onto a standard chip carrier/device package so that the package becomes a platform of the detector.

A solvent composition useful for liquid delivery MOCVD, comprising toluene and a Lewis base, wherein toluene is present at a concentration of from about 75% to about 98% by volume, based on the total volume of toluene and the Lewis base. Such solvent composition is usefully employed to dissolve or suspend precursors therein for liquid delivery MOCVD, e.g., MOCVD of ferroelectric material films such as SBT.
摘要:
The present invention provides a hydrogen sensor including a thin film sensor element formed by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD), on a micro-hotplate structure. The thin film sensor element includes a film of a hydrogen-interactive metal film that reversibly interacts with hydrogen to provide a correspondingly altered response characteristic, such as optical transmissivity, electrical conductance, electrical resistance, electrical capacitance, magneto resistance, photoconductivity, etc., relative to the response characteristic of the film in the absence of hydrogen. The hydrogen-interactive metal film may be overcoated with a thin film hydrogen-permeable barrier layer to protect the hydrogen-interactive film from deleterious interaction with non-hydrogen species. The hydrogen permeable barrier may comprise species to scavenge oxygen and other like species. The hydrogen sensor of the invention may be usefully employed for the detection of hydrogen in an environment susceptible to the incursion or generation of hydrogen and may be conveniently configured as a hand-held apparatus.
摘要:
Compositions useful for chemical vapor delivery (CVD) formation of copper layers in semiconductor integrated circuits, e.g., interconnect metallization in semiconductor device structures, as an adhesive seed layer for plating, for the deposition of a thin-film recording head or for circuitization of packaging components. The copper precursor formulation may include one or more copper precursors, e.g., a precursor of the formula hfac(Cu)L where L is a low-cost ligand such as an alkene and/or alkyne such as [(hfac)Cu]2 (DMDVS). The formulation may include in addition to the copper precursor(s) one or more low-cost ligand species such as alkenes, alkynes, dienes and combinations thereof, to increase thermal stability of the formulation and provide enhanced vaporization properties for CVD.

摘要:
Novel Group II metal MOCVD precursor compositions are described having utility for MOCVD of the corresponding Group II metal-containing films. The complexes are Group II metal &bgr;-diketonate Lewis base adducts having ligands such as: (i) amines bearing terminal NH2 groups; (ii) imine ligands formed as amine (i)/carbonyl reaction products; (iii) combination of two or more of the foregoing ligands (i)-(ii), and (iv) combination of one or more of the foregoing ligands (i)-(ii) with one or more other ligands or solvents. The source reagent complexes of barium and strontium are usefully employed in the formation of barium strontium titanate and other Group II doped thin-films on substrates for microelectronic device applications, such as integrated circuits, ferroelectric memories, switches, radiation detectors, thin-film capacitors, microelectromechanical structures (MEMS) and holographic storage media.
