  • Patent number: 12065737
    Abstract: Low to moderate temperature vapor deposition processes are provided for the deposition of silicon-based thin films, such as silicon nitride films, silicon carbonitride films, silicon oxide films, and silicon films. The processes includes in a single cycle, heating a substrate to a predetermined temperature; providing a precursor containing an N-alkyl substituted perhydridocyclotrisilazane in the vapor phase to a reaction zone containing the substrate, forming a monolayer of the precursor by adsorption to the substrate surface, and exposing the adsorbed monolayer on the substrate in the reaction zone to a remote or direct soft plasma of a co-reactant. The adsorbed precursor monolayer reacts with the soft plasma and undergoes conversion to a discrete atomic or molecular layer of a silicon-based thin film via dissociation and/or decomposition due to or enabled by a substrate surface-induced process. The cycle is then repeated to form a silicon-based thin film of a desired thickness.

  • Patent number: 12060373
    Abstract: A new class of compounds known as chalcogenosilacyclopentanes is described. These compounds are five-membered ring structures containing a silicon-selenium or silicon-tellurium bond, as shown in Formulas (I) and (II). In these compounds, the substituents on the silicon and on the ring carbons may be hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, aromatic, or ether groups. The chalcogenosilacyclopentane compounds undergo ring-opening reactions with hydroxyl and other protic functionalities and may be used to prepare substrates that are amenable to thin film deposition techniques such as ALD and CVD.

  • Patent number: 11987882
    Abstract: A vapor deposition process is provided for the growth of as-deposited hydrogen-free silicon carbide (SiC) and SiC films including oxygen (SiC:O) thin films. For producing the SiC thin films, the process includes providing a silahydrocarbon precursor, such as TSCH (1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane), in the vapor phase, with or without a diluent gas, to a reaction zone containing a heated substrate, such that adsorption and decomposition of the precursor occurs to form stoichiometric, hydrogen-free, silicon carbide (SiC) in a 1:1 atom ratio between silicon and carbon on the substrate surface without exposure to any other reactive chemical species or co-reactants. For the SiC:O films, an oxygen source is added to the reaction zone to dope the SiC films with oxygen. In the silahydrocarbon precursors, every carbon atom is bonded to two silicon atoms, with each silicon atom being additionally bonded to two or more hydrogen atoms.
