Abstract:
A microelectronic device with a ferroelectric layer is formed using an MOCVD tool. A substrate is disposed on a susceptor heated to 600° C. to 650° C. A first carrier gas is flowed into a manifold to combine with a plurality of metal organic precursors. The first carrier gas, the metal organic precursors, and a second carrier gas, are flowed through a vaporizer into a chamber of the MOCVD tool, over the substrate. A ratio of a flow rate of the first carrier gas to a flow rate of the metal organic precursors is 250 sccm/milliliter/minute to 500 sccm/milliliter/minute. A ratio of a flow rate of the second carrier gas to a flow rate of the metal organic precursors is 700 sccm/milliliter/minute to 1500 sccm/milliliter/minute. An oxidizing gas is flowed into the chamber over the substrate. The metal organic precursors and the oxidizing gas react to form the ferroelectric layer.
Abstract:
Embodiments related to metal oxide protective layers formed on a surface of a halogen-sensitive metal-including layer present on a substrate processed in a semiconductor processing reactor are provided. In one example, a method for forming a metal oxide protective layer is provided. The example method includes forming a metal-including active species on the halogen-sensitive metal-including layer, the metal-including active species being derived from a non-halogenated metal oxide precursor. The example method also includes reacting an oxygen-containing reactant with the metal-including active species to form the metal oxide protective layer.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides methods for forming a perovskite film. Exemplary methods can include the steps of forming an amorphous layer on a substrate disposed in a reaction chamber, covering at least a portion of the amorphous layer with a barrier that at least partially prevents the first metal, the second metal, oxygen atoms, or a combination thereof from being released during annealing and annealing the amorphous layer to form a perovskite film. Formation of the amorphous layer on the substrate disposed in a reaction chamber may be effected by introducing a first compound comprising a first metal; introducing an oxidizing agent; and introducing a second compound comprising a second metal.

A method for forming an amorphous ionically conductive metal oxide, such as lithium lanthanum zirconium oxide (LLZO), by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), as well as to the ionically conductive material formed by the method, are provided. Such a material may be utilized as a solid electrolyte and/or as a solid separator in an all solid state lithium battery.

Methods of forming titanium-containing layers on substrates are disclosed. In the disclosed methods, the vapor of a precursor compound having the formula Ti(Me5Cp)(OR)3, wherein R is selected from methyl, ethyl, or isopropyl is provided. The vapor is reacted with the substrate according to an atomic layer deposition process to form a titanium-containing complex on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract:
Multi-step deposition of lead-zirconium-titanate (PZT) ferroelectric material. An initial portion of the PZT material is deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at a low deposition rate, for example at a temperature below about 640 deg C. from vaporized liquid precursors of lead, zirconium, and titanium, and a solvent at a collective flow rate below about 1.1 ml/min, in combination with an oxidizing gas. Following deposition of the PZT material at the low flow rate, the remainder of the PZT film is deposited at a high deposition rate, attained by changing one or more of precursor and solvent flow rate, oxygen concentration in the oxidizing gas, A/B ratio of the precursors, temperature, and the like.
Abstract:
A gas supply device 3 includes a device body 31 forming a substantially conical gas-conducting space 32 for conducting gases therethrough from a diametrally reduced end 32a of the space 32 to a diametrally enlarged end 32b thereof, gas introduction ports 61a to 63a, 61b to 63b, and 64, each provided near the diametrally reduced end 32a of the gas-conducting space 32 in the device body 31 to introduce the gases into the gas-conducting space 32, and a plurality of partitioning members 41 to 46 provided in the gas-conducting space 32 of the device body 31 to partition the gas-conducting space 32 concentrically. The partitioning members 42 to 46 arranged adjacently to each other at a radially outer side of the gas-conducting space 32 are greater than the adjacently arranged partitioning members 41 to 45 at a radially inner side in dimensionally diverging rate per partitioning member. Thus, internal gas flow channels of the gas supply device have high gas conductance and enhanced gas replaceability, compared with those of the conventional gas showerhead.

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems for forming layers on a substrate are disclosed. Embodiments of the system comprise at least two processing chambers that may be linked in a cluster tool. A first processing chamber provides a chamber having a controlled environmental temperature and pressure and containing a first environment for performing CVD on a substrate, and a second environment for contacting the substrate with a plasma; a substrate transport system capable of positioning a substrate for sequential processing in each environment, and a gas control system capable of maintaining isolation. A second processing chamber provides a CVD system. Methods of forming layers on a substrate comprise forming one or more layers in each processing chamber. The systems and methods are suitable for preparing Group III-V, Group II-VI or Group IV thin film devices.
