InactiveUS20030049372A1Increase ratingsRapid and uniform deposition of materialElectric discharge tubesSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingHigh rateSusceptor
A chemical vapor deposition reactor including a wafer boat with a vertical stack of horizontally oriented susceptors serving as thermal plates and each having pins extending upward for suspending a wafer between a pair of susceptors. Reactant gas injector and exhaust apparatus are positioned to concentrate a forceful supply of reactant gas across each wafer at a speed in excess of 10 cm / sec. The pressure is held in the range of 0.1 to 5,000 mTorr. The forceful gas flow avoids gas depletion effects, thinning the boundary layer and resulting in faster delivery of reactants to substrate surfaces, resulting in surface rate reaction limited operation. A plurality of individually controllable heaters are spaced vertically around the sides of the boat. Temperature sensors monitor the temperature along the boat height and provide input to a controller for adjusting the heater drive to optimize the temperature uniformity.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for atomic-layer deposition of aluminum oxides in integrated circuits
InactiveUS20030207032A1Small volumeConsumes less gasPretreated surfacesChemical vapor deposition coatingProduct gasIntegrated circuit layout
Integrated circuits, the key components in thousands of electronic and computer products, are generally built layer by layer on a silicon substrate. One common layer-formation technique, known as chemical-vapor deposition (CVD), produces uneven layers and covers vertical surfaces poorly. An emergent technique, atomic-layer deposition, overcomes these shortcomings, but has others, such as slow deposition rates and longer than desirable cycle times, particularly as applied to deposition of aluminum oxide. Accordingly, the inventors devised unique atomic-layer deposition systems, methods, and apparatus suitable for aluminum-oxide deposition. One exemplary system includes an outer chamber, a substrate holder, and a gas-distribution fixture that engages or cooperates with the substrate holder to form an inner chamber within the outer chamber. The inner chamber has a smaller volume than the outer chamber, which ultimately requires less time to fill and purge and thus promises to reduce cycle times for deposition of materials, such as aluminum oxide.

Method for depositing thin films by mixed pulsed CVD and ald
ActiveUS20080317972A1Easy to customizeImprove responseSemiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingChemical vapor deposition coatingChemical vapor depositionAtomic layer deposition
Films are deposited on a substrate by a process in which atomic layer deposition (ALD) is used to deposit one layer of the film and pulsed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used to deposit another layer of the film. During the ALD part of the process, a layer is formed by flowing sequential and alternating pulses of mutually reactive reactants that deposit self-limitingly on a substrate. During the pulsed CVD part of the process, another layer is deposited by flowing two CVD reactants into a reaction chamber, with at least a first of the CVD reactants flowed into the reaction chamber in pulses, with those pulses overlapping at least partially with the flow of a second of the CVD reactants. The ALD and CVD parts of the process ca be used to deposit layers with different compositions, thereby forming, e.g., nanolaminate films. Preferably, high quality layers are formed by flowing the second CVD reactant into the reaction chamber for a longer total duration than the first CVD reactant. In some embodiments, the pulses of the third reactant at separated by a duration at least about 1.75 times the length of the pulse. Preferably, less than about 8 monolayers of material are deposited per pulse of the first CVD reactant.
