Publication number: 20220367173Abstract: Methods are provided herein for deposition of oxide films. Oxide films may be deposited, including selective deposition of oxide thin films on a first surface of a substrate relative to a second, different surface of the same substrate. For example, an oxide thin film such as an insulating metal oxide thin film may be selectively deposited on a first surface of a substrate relative to a second, different surface of the same substrate. The second, different surface may be an organic passivation layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2022Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Suvi P. Haukka, Elina Färm, Raija H. Matero, Eva E. Tois, Hidemi Suemori, Antti Juhani Niskanen, Sung-Hoon Jung, Petri Räisänen

Publication number: 20210399111Abstract: A process for depositing titanium aluminum or tantalum aluminum thin films comprising nitrogen on a substrate in a reaction space can include at least one deposition cycle. The deposition cycle can include alternately and sequentially contacting the substrate with a vapor phase Ti or Ta precursor and a vapor phase Al precursor. At least one of the vapor phase Ti or Ta precursor and the vapor phase Al precursor may contact the substrate in the presence of a vapor phase nitrogen precursor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Suvi Haukka, Michael Givens, Eric Shero, Jerry Winkler, Petri Räisänen, Timo Asikainen, Chiyu Zhu, Jaakko Anttila

Publication number: 20210335612Abstract: Methods and systems for depositing a layer, comprising one or more of vanadium boride and vanadium phosphide, onto a surface of a substrate and structures and devices formed using the methods are disclosed. An exemplary method includes using a deposition process. The deposition process can include providing a vanadium precursor to the reaction chamber and separately providing a reactant to the reaction chamber. Exemplary structures can include field effect transistor structures, such as gate all around structures. The layer comprising one or more of vanadium boride and vanadium phosphide can be used, for example, as barrier layers or liners, as work function layers, as dipole shifter layers, or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Inventors: Petro Deminskyi, Charles Dezelah, Jiyeon Kim, Giuseppe Alessio Verni, Maart Van Druenen, Qi Xie, Petri Räisänen

Patent number: 8334218Abstract: In one aspect, non-conformal layers are formed by variations of plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition, where one or more of pulse duration, separation, RF power on-time, reactant concentration, pressure and electrode spacing are varied from true self-saturating reactions to operate in a depletion-effect mode. Deposition thus takes place close to the substrate surface but is controlled to terminate after reaching a specified distance into openings (e.g., deep DRAM trenches, pores, etc.). Reactor configurations that are suited to such modulation include showerhead, in situ plasma reactors, particularly with adjustable electrode spacing.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: ASM America, Inc.Inventors: Sebastian E. Van Nooten, Jan Willem Maes, Steven Marcus, Glen Wilk, Petri Räisänen, Kai-Erik Elers
