摘要:
A method of processing a substrate is disclosed. The method includes depositing a dielectric layer having a metal oxide on a substrate. A portion of the dielectric layer is removed to form a dielectric structure, thereby exposing a surface of the substrate. For example, the dielectric layer may be patterned using standard photolithographic techniques and etching. An oxide layer is then formed on the exposed surface of the substrate. The oxide layer may be formed using ozone that is generated using ultraviolet radiation. After the oxide layer is formed, it is removed using an etching process.

摘要:
A method of forming of a monomolecular coating (19) for surfaces of contacting elements (11, 17) of micro-mechanical devices (10), specifically, devices that have moving elements that contact other elements and that tend to stick as a result of the contact. The method uses liquid deposition, with the device being placed in a solution that contains a precursor to the formation of the coating. The precursor is chosen based on coordination chemistry between the precursor and the surface to be coated.

An anode plate 40 for use in a field emission flat panel display device comprises a transparent planar substrate 42 having a plurality of electrically conductive, parallel stripes 46 comprising the anode electrode of the device, which are covered by phosphors 48.sub.R, 48.sub.G and 48.sub.B, and a gettering material 52 in the interstices of the stripes 46. The gettering material 52 is preferably selected from among zirconium-vanadium-iron and barium. The getter 52 may be thermally reactivated by passing a current through it at selected times, or by electron bombardment from microtips on the emitter substrate. The getter 52 may be formed on a substantially opaque, electrically insulating material 50 affixed to substrate 42 in the spaces formed between conductors 46, which acts as a barrier to the passage of ambient light into and out of the device. Methods of fabricating the getter stripes 52 on the anode plate 40 are disclosed.

This invention pertains generally to the integration of dielectrics with integrated circuits, and more particularly to reaction barriers between high-k dielectrics and an underlying Group IV semiconductor layer. Applications for high permittivity memory cells and gate dielectrics are disclosed. This method has steps of providing a partially completed integrated circuit having a semiconductor layer substantially comprising silicon, where the layer has an exposed face. The method also includes forming an ultra-thin SiC reaction barrier at the exposed face, and depositing a high permittivity storage dielectric on the SiC reaction barrier. Typically, the SiC reaction barrier is less then 25 Å thick, preferably one or two monolayers of SiC.

摘要:
A system and method for epitaxial growth of high purity materials on an atomic or molecular layer by layer basis wherein a substrate is placed in an evacuated chamber which is evacuated to a pressure of less than about 10.sup.-9 Torr and predetermined amounts of predetermined precursor gases are injected into the chamber from a location in the chamber closely adjacent the substrate to form the atomic or molecular layer at the surface of the substrate while maintaining the pressure at less than about 10.sup.-9 Torr in the chamber in regions thereof distant from the substrate. The precursor gases are provided from a plurality of tanks containing the precursor gases therein under predetermined pressure and predetermined ones of the tanks are opened to the chamber for predetermined time periods while maintaining the pressure in the tanks. A dose limiting structure is provided for directing predetermined amounts of the precursor gases principally at the substrate with a dose limiting directional structure.
