    摘要: A process and apparatus for delivering an involatile reagent in gaseous form, wherein an involatile reagent source liquid is flash vaporized on a vaporization matrix structure at elevated temperature. A carrier gas may be flowed past the flash vaporization matrix structure to yield a carrier gas mixture containing the flash vaporized source reagent. The matrix structure preferably has a high surface-to-volume ratio, and may suitably comprise a foraminous matrix element such as screen mesh onto which the reagent source liquid is distributed for flash vaporization. The invention is particularly useful for delivery of Group II reagents and compounds and complexes of early transition metals such as zirconium and hafnium, and may be usefully employed with Group II beta-diketonate source layers, e.g., of YBaCuO, BiSrCaCuO, and TlBaCaCuO types, as well as for forming interlayers of Group II metal fluorides between superconductor or gallium arsenide overlayers, and for depositing thin films of photonic and ferroelectric materials, e.g., BaTiO.sub.3, Ba.sub.x Sr.sub.1-x Nb.sub.2 O.sub.6, and PbZr.sub.1-x Ti.sub.x O.sub.3.

    摘要: A means and method for protecting a source reagent vaporizer structure from the harmful effects of solid build-up occurring during its use in chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Vaporizer structures may be used to provide a means of transferring relatively involatile source reagents or reagent solutions into CVD reactors and often are high surface area, highly efficient heat transfer structures. When vaporizers are used in CVD, often some premature decomposition of the source reagent occurs on the vaporizer element as well as some oxidative decomposition to produce solid products which cause clogging and inefficient vaporization. The invention provides both apparatus and method to periodically flush clean such vaporizer elements to increase their consistency, reliability, and average time between servicings.

    摘要: A method of forming a thin film of BaSrTiO.sub.3 on a substrate in a chemical vapor deposition zone, with transport of a metal precursor composition for the metal-containing film to the chemical vapor deposition zone via a liquid delivery apparatus including a vaporizer. A liquid precursor material is supplied to the liquid delivery apparatus for vaporization thereof to yield the vapor-phase metal precursor composition. The vapor-phase metal precursor composition is flowed to the chemical vapor deposition zone for deposition of metal on the substrate to form the metal-containing film. The liquid precursor material includes a metalorganic polyamine complex, the use of which permits the achievement of sustained operation of the liquid delivery chemical vapor deposition process between maintenance events, due to the low decomposition levels achieved in the vaporization of the polyamine-complexed precursor.
