    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming a germanium containing film on a patterned substrate are described. The patterned substrate is a silicon, or silicon containing material, and may have a mask material formed on a surface thereof. The germanium containing material is formed selectively on exposed silicon in the recesses of the substrate, and an overburden of at least 50% is formed on the substrate. The germanium containing layer is thermally treated using pulsed laser radiation, which melts a portion of the overburden, but does not melt the germanium containing material in the recesses. The germanium containing material in the recesses is typically annealed, at least in part, by the thermal treatment. The overburden is then removed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming doped material layers in semiconductor devices using an integrated selective monolayer doping (SMLD) process. A concentration of dopant is deposited on a material layer using the SMLD process and the concentration of dopant is then annealed to diffuse the concentration of dopant into the material layer. The SMLD process conforms the concentration of dopant to a surface of the material layer and may be performed in a single CVD chamber. The SMLD process may also be repeated to further alter the diffusion parameters of the dopant into the material layer. The SMLD process is compatible with p-type dopant species and n-type dopant species.

    Abstract: Methods for forming films during semiconductor device fabrication by soaking a substrate in dopant are discussed herein. The dopant soak is performed in a process chamber using at least one dopant precursor for a predetermined period of time to form a dopant layer on the substrate. The process chamber is subsequently purged of the at least one dopant precursor. At least one film precursor is introduced into the process chamber after the process chamber is purged. A film is epitaxially formed on the substrate to have at least one of a target resistivity, dopant concentration, and/or thickness. Post-processing operations can include annealing or patterning the semiconductor film, or depositing additional layers thereon.
