Abstract: A method includes forming a conductive material on a first dielectric layer, exposing the conductive material to aniline to produce a passivated surface of the conductive material, and after exposing the conductive material to aniline, forming a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer using a deposition process. The deposition process is a water-free and plasma-free deposition process, and the second dielectric layer does not form on the passivated surface of the conductive material.

Abstract: Methods of depositing a molybdenum sulfide film with increased sulfur:molybdenum ratio are described. The methods include pre-cleaning a dielectric material with oxygen radicals prior to formation of a molybdenum sulfide film that has a lower oxygen content than would be formed without the pre-cleaning.

Abstract: Provided are methods for pre-cleaning a substrate. A substrate having tungsten oxide (WOx) thereon is soaked in tungsten fluoride (WF6), which reduces the tungsten oxide (WOx) to tungsten (W). Subsequently, the substrate is treated with hydrogen, e.g., plasma treatment or thermal treatment, to reduce the amount of fluorine present so that fluorine does not invade the underlying insulating layer.

Abstract: A method to form a 2-Dimensional transistor channel may include depositing an amorphous layer comprising a 2-dimensional material, implanting an implant species into the amorphous layer; and annealing the amorphous layer after the implanting. As such, the amorphous layer may form a doped crystalline layer.

Abstract: Exemplary deposition methods may include introducing a vapor of a metal alkoxide into a processing volume of a semiconductor processing chamber. A substrate defining a trench may be housed in the processing volume. The methods may include condensing the vapor into a liquid metal alkoxide within the trench on the substrate. The methods may include forming a plasma external to the processing volume of the semiconductor processing chamber. The methods may include introducing plasma-generated species into the processing volume. The methods may include exposing the liquid metal alkoxide in the trench to the plasma-generated species. The methods may also include forming a metal oxide film in the trench through a reaction between the liquid metal alkoxide and the plasma-generated species.

Abstract: Methods of depositing thin films of hafnium oxide possessing strong ferroelectric properties are described. A hafnium oxide monolayer is formed in a first process cycle comprising sequential exposure of a substrate to a hafnium precursor, purge gas, first oxidant and purge gas. A doped hafnium oxide monolayer is formed in a second process cycle comprising sequential exposure of the substrate to a hafnium precursor, purge gas, dopant precursor, purge gas, second oxidant and purge gas. Thin films of hafnium oxide are also described.

Abstract: Provided is a sequenced fluid control device that includes a pneumatic driver module, a fluid cartridge having at least one fluid chamber and at least one waste chamber, and at least one sample delivery element disposed to sealably contact the fluid cartridge forming a main chamber containing a sample, where the fluid cartridge is also disposed to sealably contact the pneumatic driver module. The pneumatic driver module injects gas into or withdraws gas from the fluid cartridge, where the gas directly contacts at least one fluid causing at least one fluid to flow through channels disposed to connect at least one fluid chamber to the sample delivery element and disposed to connect the sample delivery element to the at least one waste chamber or waste channel, where a sample on the sample delivery element is exposed to the at least one fluid.
