Abstract: Tungsten precursors with high purity and methods for purifying tungsten precursors are provided. The method for purifying a precursor may comprise at least one of the following steps: obtaining a source vessel containing WCl4, WOCl4, and one of WCl5 or WCl6; separating the WCl5 or the WCl6 from at least a first portion of the WOCl4; separating the WCl5 or the WCl6 from at least a second portion of the WOCl4; recovering a precursor in a collection vessel; or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A precursor comprises a tungsten precursor and a carbon-containing material. The precursor comprises less than 0.02% by weight of the carbon-containing material based on a total weight of the precursor. A method for purifying a tungsten precursor may comprise at least one of the following steps: obtaining a source vessel containing a tungsten precursor and a carbon-containing material; separating the tungsten precursor from at least a first portion of the carbon-containing material; recovering a precursor in a collection vessel; or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A system includes a vaporizer vessel. The vaporizer vessel includes an outlet fluidly connected to the vaporizer vessel. A heater is configured to heat the vaporizer vessel. A valve is configured to regulate a pressure of a vaporized material at the outlet. In response to the pressure at the outlet being outside a set pressure range, the heater is configured to increase or decrease heat to the vaporizer vessel.

Abstract: A method of forming a molybdenum-containing material on a substrate is described, in which the substrate is contacted with molybdenum oxytetrachloride (MoOCl4) vapor under vapor deposition conditions, to deposit the molybdenum-containing material on the substrate. In various implementations, a diborane contact of the substrate may be employed to establish favorable nucleation conditions for the subsequent bulk deposition of molybdenum, e.g., by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques such as pulsed CVD.

Abstract: An alignment device is disclosed use in maintaining the alignment of longitudinal frame members of a trench-forming assembly. The alignment device comprises a cross member. Extending in the same direction from opposite ends of the cross member is at least one pair of first lateral extensions. The pair of lateral extensions is spaced apart so as to contact the respective longitudinal frame members of the trench-forming assembly, and thereby maintain the two frame members at a distance relative to each other. The alignment device may further include at least one interior extension extending from the cross member in the same direction as the pair of first lateral extensions. In this embodiment, the interior extension defines a slot between the interior extension and at least one of the first lateral extensions, where the slot is structured is to receive at least a portion of one of the longitudinal frame members.
