  • Patent number: 11821070
    Abstract: Methods of depositing metal films comprising exposing a substrate surface to a first metal precursor followed by a non-oxygen containing reducing agent comprising a second metal to form a zero-valent first metal film are described. The reducing agent has a metal center that is more electropositive than the metal center of the first metal precursor. In some embodiments, methods of depositing ruthenium films are described in which a substrate surface is exposed to a ruthenium precursor to form a ruthenium containing film on the substrate surface followed by exposure to a non-oxygen containing reducing agent to reduce the ruthenium containing film to a zero-valent ruthenium film and generate an oxidized form of the reducing agent.

  • Publication number: 20140363582
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing a yttria solution for a buffer layer of a substrate, including the steps of: (a) mixing yttrium acetate tetrahydrate with methanol to form a mixture and then stirring the mixture; (b) injecting diethanolamine as a chelating agent into the mixture of the step (a) and then stirring the mixture to synthesize a composite; and (c) filtering the composite synthesized in the step (b) using a filter to obtain a sol. The method is advantageous in that the yttria solution prepared in this method is applied onto a substrate to flatten the substrate, and is used to form a diffusion barrier serving as a buffer layer for preventing the diffusion of a substrate material.

  • Patent number: 8900695
    Abstract: The present invention is related to carbon-doped metal oxide films. The carbon-doped metal oxide films provide a low coefficient of friction, for example ranging from about 0.05 to about 0.4. In addition, the carbon-doped metal oxide films applied over a silicon substrate, for example, provide anti-stiction properties, where the measured work of adhesion for a MEMS device cantilever beam coated with the carbon-doped metal oxide film is less than 10 ?J/m2. In addition, the carbon-doped metal oxide films provide unexpectedly good water vapor transmission properties. The carbon content in the carbon-doped metal oxide films ranges from about 5 atomic % to about 20 atomic %.
