Abstract: Methods and apparatus for chemical delivery are provided herein. In some embodiments, a first reservoir holds a first volume of fluid, receives a carrier gas, and outputs the carrier gas together with vapor derived from the first volume of fluid. A second reservoir holds a second volume of fluid and is capable of delivering a part of the second volume of fluid to the first reservoir. A self-regulating tube extends from the first reservoir to a region above the second volume of fluid in the second reservoir.

Abstract: Methods for depositing silicon include cycling dosing between 1 and 100 cycles of one or more first chlorosilane precursors on a III-V surface at a temperature between 300° C. and 500° C. to form a first layer. Methods may include desorbing chlorine from the first layer by treating the first layer with atomic hydrogen to form a second layer. Methods may include forming a silicon multilayer on the second layer by cycling dosing between 1 and 100 cycles of one or more second chlorosilane precursors and atomic hydrogen at a temperature between 300° C. and 500° C. A layered composition includes a first layer selected from the group consisting of InxGa1-xAs, InxGa1-xSb, InxGa1-xN, SiGe, and Ge, wherein X is between 0.1 and 0.99, and a second layer, wherein the second layer comprises Si—H and Si—OH.

Abstract: Films comprising Aluminum, carbon and a metal, wherein the aluminum is present in an amount greater than about 16% by elemental content and the film has less than about 50% carbon. Methods of forming the films comprise exposing a substrate to a metal halide precursor, purging the metal halide precursor from the processing chamber and then exposing the substrate to an alkyl aluminum precursor and an alane precursor, either sequentially or simultaneously. The alane precrursor comprises an amine-alane and a stabilizing amine selected from one or more of diemthylcyclohexylamine or dicyclomethylhexylamine.
