    摘要: A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system is provided for processing a substrate 110. The system 100 includes a heated muffle 115, a chamber 120 having an injector assembly 130 for introducing chemical vapor to process the substrate 110, and a belt 105 for moving the substrate through the muffle and chamber. The belt 105 has an oxidation-resistant coating 175 to reduce formation of deposits thereon. The coating 175 is particularly useful for resisting formation of chromium oxides on belts made from a chromium-containing alloy. In one embodiment, the oxidation-resistant coating 175 comprises a securely-adhered oxide layer 185 that is substantially free of transition metals. Preferably, the oxidation-resistant coating 175 comprises aluminum oxide. More preferably, the coating 175 comprises an aluminum oxide layer 185 securely adhered over a nickel aluminide layer 180.

    摘要: An outwardly grown diffusion aluminide bondcoat is formed on a superalloy substrate and has higher concentrations of Al and Pt and lower concentrations of harmful impurities (e.g. Mo, W, Cr, Ta, S, etc.) at an outermost region of the bondcoat than at an innermost region thereof adjacent the substrate. The bondcoat is pretreated prior to deposition of a ceramic thermal insulative layer in a manner that reduces grain boundary ridges on the outermost bondcoat surface without adversely affecting the outermost region thereof, and then is heat treated to thermally grow a stable alpha alumina layer on the bondcoat prior to deposition of a ceramic layer.

    摘要: A thermal barrier coating system and a method for forming the coating system on a component designed for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as superalloy turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The coating system includes a diffusion aluminide bond coat whose oxide growth rate is significantly reduced to improve the spallation resistance of a thermal barrier layer by forming the bond coat to include a dispersion of aluminum, chromium, nickel, cobalt and/or platinum group metal oxides. The oxides preferably constitute about 5 to about 20 volume percent of the bond coat. A preferred method of forming the bond coat is to initiate a diffusion aluminizing process in the absence of oxygen to deposit a base layer of diffusion aluminide, and then intermittently introduce an oxygen-containing gas into the diffusion aluminizing process to form within the bond coat the desired dispersion of oxides. Thereafter, a ceramic layer is deposited on the bond coat to form a thermal barrier coating.

    摘要: A single-substrate-processing CVD apparatus is used for forming a BST thin film on a semiconductor wafer while supplying a first process gas containing a mixture of Ba(thd)2 and Sr(thd)2, and a second process gas containing Ti(O-iPr)(thd)2 or Ti(thd)2. Precursors of Ba and Sr have lower activation energies and higher resistivities than precursors of Ti. The first and second process gases are supplied from a shower head which has a group of first spouting holes for spouting the first process gas and a group of second spouting holes for spouting the second process gas. The group of the second spouting holes are designed to have diameters gradually decreasing in radial directions outward from the center of a shower region, such that the second process gas is supplied at a spouting rate gradually decreasing in radial directions outward from the center.

    摘要: In the field of depositing a metal film for wiring purposes on a substrate by means of single-substrate processing CVD, a procedure for depositing a copper film on a substrate is carried out by utilizing a first CVD module in which film deposition is carried out under first film deposition conditions where the film deposition rate is low and the filling characteristics are good, and a second CVD module in which film deposition is carried out under second film deposition conditions where the film deposition rate is high and the filling characteristics are poor. One CVD film deposition process in which a metal film for wiring purposes is deposited is carried out with sub-processes based on two different sets of film deposition conditions.

    摘要: The present invention provides for sequential chemical vapor deposition by employing a reactor operated at low pressure, a pump to remove excess reactants, and a line to introduce gas into the reactor through a valve. A first reactant forms a monolayer on the part to be coated, while the second reactant passes through a radical generator which partially decomposes or activates the second reactant into a gaseous radical before it impinges on the monolayer. This second reactant does not necessarily form a monolayer but is available to react with the monolayer. A pump removes the excess second reactant and reaction products completing the process cycle. The process cycle can be repeated to grow the desired thickness of film.

    摘要: A method of controlling the wetting characteristics and increasing the adhesion between a metal and an oxide layer. By introducing a negatively-charged species to the surface of an oxide layer, layer-by-layer growth of metal deposited onto the oxide surface is promoted, increasing the adhesion strength of the metal-oxide interface. The negatively-charged species can either be deposited onto the oxide surface or a compound can be deposited that dissociates on, or reacts with, the surface to form the negatively-charged species. The deposited metal adatoms can thereby bond laterally to the negatively-charged species as well as vertically to the oxide surface as well as react with the negatively charged species, be oxidized, and incorporated on or into the surface of the oxide.

    摘要: A method of introducing small amounts of a refractory element into a vapor deposition coating. A second material (30), containing at least two elements which are desired to be deposited as a coating on a base material, has placed over it a first material (20) substantially comprising such two elements and a refractory element. The first material (20) is adapted to permit transport of the at least two elements in the second material (30) through the first material (20) when the first (20) and second (30) material are in a molten state and in touching contact with the other so as to permit evaporation of the two elements and the refractory element from an exposed surface. Heat is supplied to the first (20) and second (30) materials to permit evaporation of the at least two elements of second material (30) and the refractory element in the first material (20), and the resulting vapors are condensed as a deposit on a base material (50). A particular method of heating is further disclosed to assist in maintaining adequate rates of evaporation for the aforesaid method, wherein the supplied heat is supplied to an inner heated area (91) and a surrounding outer heated area (92) and at least a portion of the inner heated area (91) is heated to a greater temperature than the outer heated area (92).

The container has a width that is greater than the width of the portion of the metal component to be treated, a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the portion of the metal component to be treated, and a depth that is greater than the length of the portion of the metal component to be treated. According to the method, the portion of the metal component to be treated is placed in the container. A heat-activated alloying powder is placed in the container around the portion of the component to be treated in a layer that extends along the length of the portion of the component to be treated. A non-oxidizing powder is placed in the container adjacent to the alloying powder and around the metal component in a layer that extends to an open end of the container. A cap is provided for each open end of the container to seal the container around the metal component except for gases which are produced in diffusion alloying. A furnace is provided to heat the portion of the metal component to be treated to activate the alloying powder. The container is placed with the portion of the metal component to be treated therein in the furnace, and the furnace is operated to heat the portion of the metal component in the container to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cause diffusion alloying of the portion of the metal component to be treated by the alloying powder.
