摘要:
Embodiments of an apparatus for generating a chemical precursor used in a vapor deposition processing system are provide which include a canister having a sidewall, a top, and a bottom forming an interior volume which is in fluid communication with an inlet port and an outlet port. The canister contains a plurality of baffles that extend from the bottom to an upper portion of the interior volume and form an extended mean flow path between the inlet port and the outlet port. In one embodiment, the baffles are contained on a prefabricated insert positioned on the bottom of the canister. In one example, an inlet tube may extend from the inlet port into the interior region and be positioned substantially parallel to the baffles. An outlet end of the inlet tube may be adapted to direct a gas flow away from the outlet port, such as towards the sidewall or top of the canister.

A method and apparatus for generating gas for a processing system is provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus for generating gas for a processing system includes a canister having at least one baffle disposed between two ports and containing a precursor material. The precursor material is adapted to produce a gas vapor when heated to a defined temperature at a defined pressure. The baffle forces a carrier gas to travel an extended mean path between the inlet and outlet ports. In another embodiment, an apparatus for generating gas includes a canister having a tube that directs a carrier gas flowing into the canister away from a precursor material disposed within the canister.

Apparatus for forming a vapor of material to be hydrolyzed and/or oxidized and entraining the vapor in a carrier gas. The source material, in liquid form, is pumped to a point in the column above a porous packing. As the liquid progresses downward through the packing, it encounters a rising countercurrent of carrier gas. The source material vaporizes and is delivered to vapor deposition by the carrier gas. The source material vaporized in the apparatus may alternatively be delivered to an externally heated tubular reactor, or to any other kind of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor.

Embodiments of the invention provide chemical precursor ampoules that may be used during vapor deposition processes. In one embodiment, an apparatus for generating a chemical precursor gas used in a vapor deposition processing system is provided which includes a canister having a sidewall, a top, and a bottom forming an interior volume and a solid precursor material at least partially contained within a lower region of the interior volume. The apparatus further contains an inlet port and an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior volume and an inlet tube connected to the inlet port and positioned to direct a carrier gas towards the sidewall and away form the outlet port. In one example, the solid precursor contains pentakis(dimethylamido) tantalum (PDMAT). In another example, the apparatus contains a plurality of baffles that form an extended mean flow path between the inlet port and the outlet port.

A closed loop, carbon monoxide self-contained preferably continuous process and apparatus for the production of nickel or nickel coated objects by nickel vapor deposition (NVD), comprising placing an object to be treated with nickel carbonyl in a deposition chamber; feeding a gaseous mixture of nickel carbonyl and carbon monoxide to the chamber; producing the nickel or nickel coated object and a nickel carbonyl-depleted gaseous mixture; removing nickel carbonyl from the nickel carbonyl-depleted gaseous mixture in a primary and subsequent secondary condensation unit and, preferably, a tertiary condensation unit to produce an essentially nickel carbonyl-free gas. The secondary and tertiary condensation units operably freeze out and subsequently thaw nickel carbonyl and most preferably each comprises a pair of units linked in parallel arrangement operative in alternating, alternate freeze-thaw modes. Carbon monoxide-containing gas is recycled to a nickel carbonyl reactor. The process and apparatus provides a more economic to operate, safe and more operably reliable than prior art NVD processes.

A chemical vapor deposition apparatus comprises a starting material container holding a starting material in a liquid state, a starting gas generating container into which the liquid starting material is fed from the starting material container, a means for keeping constant the liquid level of the liquid starting material held in the starting gas generating container, a means for injecting a bubbling gas from the outside into the liquid starting material held in the starting gas generating container, thereby bubbling the starting gas, and a reaction chamber into which a mixed gas of the starting gas and the bubbling gas are fed.
摘要:
In a device and a method for generating vapor in a CVD or PVD device, particles are vaporized by bringing the particles into contact with a first heat transfer surface of a vaporization device. The vapor generated by vaporizing the particles is transported by a carrier gas out of the vaporization device and into a single or multistage modulation device. In a vapor transfer phase, second heat transfer surfaces of the modulation device are adjusted to a first modulation temperature, at which the vapor passes through the modulation device without condensing on the second heat transfer surfaces. At an intermission phase, the second heat transfer surfaces are adjusted to a second modulation temperature, at which at least some of the vapor condenses on the second heat transfer surfaces.
