摘要:
A method of silicon layer deposition using a cyclical deposition process. The cyclical deposition process comprises alternately adsorbing a silicon-containing precursor and a reducing gas on a substrate structure. Thin film transistors, such as for example a bottom-gate transistor or a top-gate transistor, including one or more silicon layers may, be formed using such cyclical deposition techniques.

A method of passivation layer deposition using a cyclical deposition process is described. The cyclical deposition process may comprise alternately adsorbing a silicon-containing precursor and a reactant gas on a substrate structure. Thin film transistors, such as a bottom-gate transistor or a top-gate transistor, including a silicon-containing passivation layer, may be formed using such cyclical deposition techniques.
摘要:
A plasma-based generator for use with a power source including a plasma tube having a hollow tube body in which a plasma is generated by the power source; a first support structure supporting a downstream end of the plasma tube; and a second support structure holding an upstream end of the plasma tube, the second support structure connected to the first support structure, the second support structure including an expansion joint which changes its length to accommodate a lengthening and a shortening of the plasma tube due to its thermal expansion and contraction when plasma processing is performed within the plasma tube.

A plasma display panel including a low k dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the dielectric layer is comprises a fluorine-doped silicon oxide layer such as an SiOF layer. In another embodiment, the dielectric layer comprises a Black Diamond™ layer. In certain embodiments, a capping layer such as SiN or SiON is deposited over the dielectric layer.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for reducing the production of white powder in a process chamber used for depositing silicon nitride. Steps of the method include heating at least a portion of a wall of the process chamber; providing a liner covering a substantial portion of a wall of the process chamber; providing a remote chamber connected to the interior of the process chamber; causing a plasma of cleaning gas in the remote chamber; and flowing a portion of the plasma of cleaning gas into the process chamber. The apparatus includes a deposition chamber having walls; means for heating the walls, the means thermally coupled to the walls; a liner covering a substantial portion of the walls; a remote chamber disposed outside of the chamber; an activation source adapted to deliver energy into the remote chamber; a first conduit for flowing a precursor gas from a remote gas supply into the remote chamber where it is activated by the activation source to form a reactive species; and a second conduit for flowing the reactive species from the remote chamber into the deposition chamber.

摘要:
A method for cleaning a deposition chamber that is used in fabricating electronic devices including the steps of delivering a precursor gas into a remote chamber that is outside of the deposition chamber, activating the precursor gas in the remote chamber via a high power source to form a reactive species, flowing the reactive species from the remote chamber into the deposition chamber, and using the reactive species that is flowed into the deposition chamber from the remote chamber to clean the inside of the deposition chamber.
摘要:
A method of film layer deposition is described. A film layer is deposited using a cyclical deposition process. The cyclical deposition process consists essentially of a continuous flow of one or more process gases and the alternate pulsing of a precursor and energy to form a film on a substrate structure.
