Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method for depositing tungsten-containing materials. In one embodiment, a method includes forming a tungsten nucleation layer over an underlayer disposed on the substrate while sequentially providing a tungsten precursor and a reducing gas into a process chamber during an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process and depositing a tungsten bulk layer over the tungsten nucleation layer, wherein the reducing gas contains hydrogen gas and a hydride compound (e.g., diborane) and has a hydrogen/hydride flow rate ratio of about 500:1 or greater. In some examples, the method includes flowing the hydrogen gas into the process chamber at a flow rate within a range from about 1 slm to about 20 slm and flowing a mixture of the hydride compound and a carrier gas into the process chamber at a flow rate within a range from about 50 sccm to about 500 sccm.

Abstract: An ultrasonic or acoustic viscosity sensor or viscometer is provided that can be used to accurately measure viscosity for fluid samples of less than 1 ?l in volume. Methods for measuring viscosity for fluid samples of less than 1 ?l in volume are also provided. The viscosity sensor and methods based thereon enable simultaneous measurement of bulk and dynamic (shear-rate dependent) viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid. Bulk and dynamic viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid can be measured simultaneously without separating constituents of the fluid, and thus distinguishing the effect of constituents on the viscosity. Dynamic viscosity of the non-Newtonian fluid can be estimated at varying shear rates, to study the deformability of the constituents of the fluid as a function of shear rate.
