    摘要: Molds including 3D printed components can be used to cast objects. A model of the object can be separated into multiple components, with each component not having non-printable overhang structures, thus allowing the components to be directly printed without support structures. Shell models and shell molds, e.g., molds with hollow interior, can be used for cost effectiveness. The surface of the printed object can be smoothened, for example, by solvent vapor (such as acetone for plastic), by sanding, or by a smooth coating. The object can be combinatorially cast.

    摘要: A hybrid deposition process of CVD and ALD, called NanoLayer Deposition (NLD) is provided. The nanolayer deposition process is a cyclic sequential deposition process, comprising the first step of introducing a first plurality of precursors to deposit a thin film with the deposition process not self-limiting, then a second step of purging the first set of precursors and a third step of introducing a second plurality of precursors to modify the deposited thin film. The deposition step in the NLD process using the first set of precursors is not self limiting and is a function of substrate temperature and process time. The second set of precursors modifies the already deposited film characteristics. The second set of precursors can treat the deposited film such as a modification of film composition, a doping or a removal of impurities from the deposited film. The second set of precursors can also deposit another layer on the deposited film. The additional layer can react with the existing layer to form a compound layer, or can have minimum reaction to form a nanolaminate film.

    摘要: An apparatus for sequential processing of a workpiece comprises an assembly line processing system. The apparatus comprises multiple workpieces moving in an assembly line fashion under multiple process stations. The multiple process stations provide different processes onto the workpieces for a sequential processing of the workpieces. The sequential processing action is carried out by the movement of the workpieces under the various process stations.

    摘要: A NanoLayer Deposition (NLD) process for depositing composite films of tertiary, quaternary, pentanary, and hexary stoichiometric films is provided. The inventive deposition process is a cyclic process consisting of a sequence of thin film deposition and treatment steps to obtain a desired film stoichiometry. The deposition steps are not self-limiting as in atomic layer deposition. In one embodiment for depositing a compound oxide film, the deposition process comprises a first deposition, followed by a hydrogen-containing plasma treatment, a second deposition followed by a hydrogen-containing plasma treatment, and then a third deposition followed by a hydrogen-containing plasma and then an oxygen-containing plasma treatment to produce a stoichiometric quaternary film. The cyclic process is repeated until the desired overall film thickness is achieved. The inventive process is used to fabricate high k dielectric films, ferroelectric films, piezoelectric films, and other complex oxides.

    摘要: A method has been provided for improving the adhesion of copper to a nitrided metal diffusion barrier material, such as TiN, in an integrated circuit substrate. The method provided a multilayered diffusion barrier structure, comprising a conducting diffusion barrier layer and a poorly conducting adhesion-promoter layer in selected locations. The formation of a poorly conducting adhesion-promoter layer in selected locations permits the optimization of both contact resistance and adhesion property. The poorly conducting adhesion-promoter layer is formed either by the partial incorporation of oxygen into the diffusion barrier or by deposition in an oxygen ambient.
