摘要:
A method and apparatus for delivering precursor materials to a processing chamber is provided. In one embodiment, a deposition apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a chamber having a longitudinal axis, and a gas distribution assembly coupled to a sidewall of the chamber. The gas distribution assembly comprises a plurality of plenums coupled to one or more gas sources, an energy source positioned to provide energy to each of the plurality of plenums, and a variable power source coupled to the energy source, wherein the gas distribution assembly provides a flow path through the chamber that is normal to the longitudinal axis of the chamber.

Methods are disclosed for adjusting the temperature of at least a portion of the surface of a reaction chamber during a film formation process to control film properties. More than one portion of the chamber surface may be temperature-modulated, and may be accomplished by actively keeping the temperature of a first wall of the reaction chamber above the temperature of a second wall during the film formation process.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the formation and utilization of metastable specie in a reaction chamber for processing substrates. The metastable specie may be used for etching the surface of substrates in situ, deposition processes during processing of the substrate.
摘要:
A method for epitaxially forming a silicon-containing material on a substrate surface utilizes a halogen containing gas as both an etching gas as well as a carrier gas through adjustments of the process chamber temperature and pressure. It is beneficial to utilize HCl as the halogen containing gas because converting HCl from a carrier gas to an etching gas can easily be performed by adjusting the chamber pressure.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for delivering precursor materials to a processing chamber is described. The apparatus includes a gas distribution assembly having multiple gas delivery zones. Each zone may include a plenum having an inlet for receiving a precursor gas and at least one source of non-thermal energy, such as an infrared light source. The at least one source of non-thermal energy is may be varied to control the intensity of wavelengths from the infrared light source.
