Abstract: The current disclosure relates to vapor phase methods of depositing a metal or a semimetal-comprising materials on a substrate. In the methods, various metal or semimetal precursors may be used together with reactants that may generate hydrogen radical or amino radical to react with the metal or semimetal precursor to deposit the metal or semimetal-comprising material on the substrate. The disclosure further relates to materials and structures deposited by the disclosed methods, as well as deposition assemblies.

Abstract: A method and system for forming material within a gap on a surface of a substrate are disclosed. An exemplary method includes forming a material layer on a surface of the substrate within a first reaction chamber, exposing the material layer to a halogen reactant in a second reaction chamber to thereby form a flowable layer comprising a halogen within the gap, and optionally exposing the flowable layer to a converting reactant in a third reaction chamber to form a converted material within the gap. Exemplary methods can further include a step of heat treating the flowable layer or the converted material. Exemplary systems can perform the method.

Abstract: A multiple-layer method for forming material within a gap on a surface of a substrate is disclosed. An exemplary method includes forming a layer of first material overlying the substrate and forming a layer of second (e.g., initially flowable) material within a region of the first material to thereby at least partially fill the gap with material in a seamless and/or void less manner.

Abstract: A method for improving source/drain performance through conformal solid state doping and its resulting device are disclosed. Specifically, the doping takes place through an atomic layer deposition of a dopant layer. Embodiments of the invention may allow for an increased doping layer, improved conformality, and reduced defect formation, in comparison to alternate doping methods, such as ion implantation or epitaxial doping.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for filling a gap. A method comprises providing a substrate to a reaction chamber. The substrate comprises the gap. The method further comprises at least partially filling the gap with a gap filling fluid. The method then comprises subjecting the gap filling fluid to a transformation treatment, thus forming a transformed material in the gap. The methods and systems are useful, for example, in the field of integrated circuit manufacture.

Abstract: Gas-phase methods of forming radiation-sensitive, patternable material and systems for forming the material. Exemplary methods include gas-phase formation of a layer comprising a polymeric material that forms the radiation-sensitive, patternable material on a surface of the substrate. Portions of the layer comprising the polymeric material can be exposed to radiation or active species to form exposed and unexposed regions. Material can be selectively deposed onto the exposed or unexposed portions and/or one of the exposed and unexposed regions can be selectively removed. One or more method steps can be performed within a reaction chamber and/or a reactor system.
