There is provided a method of filling one or more gaps by providing the substrate in a reaction chamber and introducing a first reactant to the substrate with a first dose, thereby forming no more than about one monolayer by the first reactant on a first area; introducing a second reactant to the substrate with a second dose, thereby forming no more than about one monolayer by the second reactant on a second area of the surface, wherein the first and the second areas overlap in an overlap area where the first and second reactants react and leave an initially unreacted area where the first and the second areas do not overlap; and, introducing a third reactant to the substrate with a third dose, the third reactant reacting with the first or second reactant remaining on the initially unreacted area.
摘要:
In some embodiments, an oxide layer is grown on a semiconductor substrate by oxidizing the semiconductor substrate by exposure to hydrogen peroxide at a process temperature of about 500° C. or less. The exposure to the hydrogen peroxide may continue until the oxide layer grows by a thickness of about 1 Å or more. Where the substrate is a germanium substrate, while oxidation using H2O has been found to form germanium oxide with densities of about 4.25 g/cm3, oxidation according to some embodiments can form an oxide layer with a density of about 6 g/cm3 or more (for example, about 6.27 g/cm3). In some embodiments, another layer of material is deposited directly on the oxide layer. For example, a dielectric layer may be deposited directly on the oxide layer.

摘要:
A process for depositing aluminum oxynitride (AlON) is disclosed. The process comprises subjecting a substrate to temporally separated exposures to an aluminum precursor and a nitrogen precursor to form an aluminum and nitrogen-containing compound on the substrate. The aluminum and nitrogen-containing compound is subsequently exposed to an oxygen precursor to form AlON. The temporally separated exposures to an aluminum precursor and a nitrogen precursor, and the subsequent exposure to an oxygen precursor together constitute an AlON deposition cycle. A plurality of AlON deposition cycles may be performed to deposit an AlON film of a desired thickness. The deposition may be performed in a batch process chamber, which may accommodate batches of 25 or more substrates. The deposition may be performed without exposure to plasma.
