摘要: Methods of forming a metal oxyfluoride films are provided. A substrate is placed in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber having a processing region. Flows of zirconium-containing gas, a zirconium precursor gas, for example, Tris(dimethylamino)cyclopentadienyl zirconium, an oxygen-containing gas, a fluorine containing gas, and an yttrium precursor, for example, tris(butylcyclopentadienyl)yttrium gas are delivered to the processing region, where a metal oxyfluoride film such as an yttrium zirconium oxyfluoride film, is formed.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to methods for selectively etching copper, cobalt, and/or aluminum layers on a substrate semiconductor manufacturing applications. A substrate comprising one or more copper layers, cobalt layers, or aluminum layers is transferred to a processing chamber. The surface of the copper, cobalt, or aluminum layer is oxidized. The oxidized copper, cobalt, or aluminum surface is then exposed to hexafluoroacetylacetonate vapor. The hexafluoroacetylacetonate vapor reacts with the oxidized copper, cobalt, or aluminum surface to form a volatile compound, which is then pumped out of the chamber. The reaction of the oxidized copper, cobalt, or aluminum surface with the hexafluoroacetylacetonate vapor selectively atomic layer etches the copper, cobalt, or aluminum surface.

摘要: Precursors, such as interhalogens and/or compounds formed of noble gases and halogens, may be supplied in a gaseous form to a semiconductor processing chamber at a predetermined amount, flow rate, pressure, and/or temperature in a cyclic manner such that atomic layer etching of select semiconductor materials may be achieved in each cycle. In the etching process, the element of the precursor that has a relatively higher electronegativity may react with select semiconductor materials to form volatile etching byproducts. The element of the precursor that has a relatively lower electronegativity may form a gas that may be recycled to re-form an precursor with one or more halogen-containing materials using a plasma process.

摘要: Methods for refurbishing aerospace components by removing corrosion and depositing protective coatings are provided herein. In one or more embodiments, a method of refurbishing an aerospace component includes exposing the aerospace component containing corrosion to an aqueous cleaning solution. The aerospace component contains a nickel superalloy, an aluminide layer disposed on the nickel superalloy, and an aluminum oxide layer disposed on the aluminide layer. The method includes removing the corrosion from a portion of the aluminum oxide layer with the aqueous cleaning solution to reveal the aluminum oxide layer, then exposing the aluminum oxide layer to a post-rinse, and forming a protective coating on the aluminum oxide layer.
