  • Publication number: 20230298902
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods method for thin film deposition of molybdenum for source/drain formation. A deposition process may be performed in which the surface is contacted in the reaction chamber with a first oxygen-free molybdenum halide reactant at a first temperature, wherein said contacting with the first oxygen-free molybdenum halide reactant forms at least one layer of molybdenum on the substrate. In some embodiments, the temperature of the reaction chamber may be raised from the first temperature to a second temperature. In some embodiments, the substrate in the reaction chamber may be contacted with a second oxygen-free molybdenum halide reactant at the second temperature, wherein said contacting with the second oxygen-free molybdenum halide reactant forms at least one layer of molybdenum on the substrate. In some embodiments, the deposition at the second temperature may be repeated until a molybdenum-containing film of desired thickness is formed.

The cell comprises a sulfur-based cathode within a compressible vessel. An energy storage system may include plates and at least one electrochemical cell that includes—within a compressible vessel—a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte. The cathode comprises a sulfur-based active material. In a method of assembling a system for operating an energy storage device, at least one electrochemical cell is disposed between a pair of plates and adjacent pressure sensor(s). A distance between the plates is fixed at which a measured pressure is within a range from greater than about 0 kPa to about 689 kPa above ambient pressure. The plate-separation distance is maintained while charging or discharging the electrochemical cell(s).
