Abstract:
In some embodiments, a method of processing a substrate disposed within a processing volume of a hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) process chamber, includes: (a) providing a silicon containing precursor gas into the processing volume, the silicon containing precursor gas is provided into the processing volume from an inlet located a first distance above a surface of the substrate; (b) breaking hydrogen-silicon bonds within molecules of the silicon containing precursor via introduction of hydrogen radicals to the processing volume to deposit a flowable silicon containing layer atop the substrate, wherein the hydrogen radicals are formed by flowing a hydrogen containing gas over a plurality of wires disposed within the processing volume above the substrate and the inlet.

Abstract:
Approaches herein increase a ratio of reactive ions to a neutral species in a plasma processing apparatus. Exemplary approaches include providing a processing apparatus having a plasma source chamber including a first gas inlet, and a deposition chamber coupled to the plasma source chamber, wherein the deposition chamber includes a second gas inlet for delivering a point of use (POU) gas to an area proximate a substrate disposed within the deposition chamber. Exemplary approaches further include generating an ion beam for delivery to the substrate, and modifying a pressure within the deposition chamber in the area proximate the substrate to increase an amount of reactive ions present for impacting the substrate when the ion beam is delivered to the substrate.
Abstract:
Methods for the deposition of SiN films comprising sequential exposure of a substrate surface to a silicon halide precursor at a temperature greater than or equal to about 600°C and a nitrogen-containing reactant.
Abstract:
An x-ray window, which may be utilized within an x-ray source or an x-ray detector is disclosed, and a method for manufacturing the same. The x-ray window may be permeable to soft x-rays. The x-ray window may have at least one surface in contact with a pressure essentially equal that of a vacuum. The x-ray window may be multilayered with a thickness of less than or equal to one micron.
Abstract:
ALD processes for forming the silicon and oxygen containing films using mono-substituted TSA precursors are disclosed. The mono-substituted TSA precursors have the formula: (SiH3)2N-SiH2-X, wherein X is a halogen atom or an amino group.
Abstract:
Si-containing film forming compositions are disclosed comprising Si-N containing precursors. Also disclosed are methods of synthesizing the same and methods of using the same for vapor deposition. In particular, a catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of carbosilanes with ammonia, amines and amidines produces the Si-N containing precursors.
Abstract:
Provided are a novel amino-silyl amine compound and a manufacturing method of a dielectric film containing Si-N bond using the same. Since the amino-silyl amine compound according to the present invention, which is a thermally stable and highly volatile compound, may be treated at room temperature and used as a liquid state compound at room temperature and pressure, the present invention provides a manufacturing method of a high purity dielectric film containing a Si-N bond even at a low temperature and plasma condition by using atomic layer deposition (PEALD).
