摘要:
A method of forming (and system for forming) layers, such as calcium, barium, strontium, and/or magnesium, tantalates and/or niobates, and optionally titanates, on a substrate by employing a vapor deposition method, particularly a multi-cycle atomic layer deposition process.

In one aspect, the invention encompasses a semiconductor processing method of forming a metal-comprising layer over a substrate. A substrate is provided within a reaction chamber, and a source of a metal-comprising precursor is provided external to the reaction chamber. The metal-comprising precursor comprises a metal coordinated with at least one Lewis base to form a complex having a stoichiometric ratio of the at least one Lewis base to the metal. An amount of the at least one Lewis base is distributed within the source to an amount that is in excess of the stoichiometric ratio. At least some of the metal-comprising precursor is transported from the source to the reaction chamber. A metal is deposited from the metal-comprising precursor and onto the substrate within the reaction chamber. In another aspect, the invention encompasses a method of storing a metal-comprising material. A metal-comprising material is dispersed within a solution. The metal-comprising material comprises a complex having the stoichiometric form (Y)xM(Q)z; wherein M is a metal, Y is a first ligand, x is from 0 to 4, Q is a Lewis base, and z is from 1 to 6. An amount of Q is dispersed within the solution to an excess over the stoichiometric ratio of Q to M in the complex.

摘要:
An ALD method includes exposing a substrate to a first precursor including a plurality of different ligands, chemisorbing a precursor monolayer on the substrate, and reacting a second precursor with the precursor monolayer to yield a product monolayer. A surface reactive ligand exhibits a chemisorption affinity that exceeds the chemisorption affinity exhibited by a gas reactive ligand. Another deposition method includes exposing a substrate to a precursor containing an amino and/or imino ligand and a halide ligand and depositing a layer. The precursor exhibits a volatility that exceeds the volatility with a halide ligand taking the place of each amino and/or imino ligand. The precursor exhibits a thermal stability that exceeds the thermal stability with an amino and/or imino ligand taking the place of each halide ligand. The layer may exhibit less halogen content than with a halide ligand taking the place of each amino and/or imino ligand.
