    摘要: A NanoLayer Deposition (NLD) process for depositing composite films of tertiary, quaternary, pentanary, and hexary stoichiometric films is provided. The inventive deposition process is a cyclic process consisting of a sequence of thin film deposition and treatment steps to obtain a desired film stoichiometry. The deposition steps are not self-limiting as in atomic layer deposition. In one embodiment for depositing a compound oxide film, the deposition process comprises a first deposition, followed by a hydrogen-containing plasma treatment, a second deposition followed by a hydrogen-containing plasma treatment, and then a third deposition followed by a hydrogen-containing plasma and then an oxygen-containing plasma treatment to produce a stoichiometric quaternary film. The cyclic process is repeated until the desired overall film thickness is achieved. The inventive process is used to fabricate high k dielectric films, ferroelectric films, piezoelectric films, and other complex oxides.

    摘要: A hybrid deposition process of CVD and ALD, called NanoLayer Deposition (NLD) is provided. The NLD process is a cyclic sequential deposition process, comprising introducing a first plurality of precursors to deposit a thin layer with the deposition process not self limiting, followed by introducing a second plurality of precursors for plasma treating the thin deposited layer. The plasma can be isotropic, anisotropic, or a combination of isotropic and anisotropic to optimize the effectiveness of the treatment of the thin deposited layers.
