  • Publication number: 20240133033
    Abstract: Herein disclosed are systems and methods related to delivery systems using solid source chemical fill vessels. The delivery system can include a vapor deposition reactor, two or more fill vessels, of which one of more can be remote from the vapor deposition reactor. Each fill vessel is configured to hold solid source chemical reactant therein. An interconnect line or conduit can fluidly connect the vapor deposition reactor with one or more of the fill vessels. A line heater can heat at least a portion of the interconnect line to at least a minimum line temperature.

  • Publication number: 20230349040
    Abstract: A method and system for forming a structure are disclosed. An exemplary method includes providing a substrate comprising a plurality of gaps within a first reaction chamber, forming a doped adhesion film on the surface of a substrate and within the plurality of gaps, wherein the doped adhesion film comprises a first material and a second material, and depositing a metal overlying the doped adhesion film. Exemplary methods can further include a step of depositing a nucleation layer overlying the doped adhesion film. An exemplary system can perform the method of forming the structure.

  • Patent number: 11421318
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for increasing reflectivity of an aluminum layer on a substrate. In some embodiments, a method of depositing an aluminum layer on a substrate comprises depositing a layer of cobalt or cobalt alloy or a layer of titanium or titanium alloy on the substrate with a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, pre-treating the layer of cobalt or cobalt alloy with a thermal hydrogen anneal at a temperature of approximately 400 degrees Celsius if a top surface of the layer of cobalt or cobalt alloy is compromised, and depositing a layer of aluminum on the layer of cobalt or cobalt alloy or the layer of titanium or titanium alloy with a CVD process at a temperature of approximately 120 degrees Celsius. Pre-treatment of the layer of cobalt or cobalt alloy may be accomplished for a duration of approximately 60 seconds to approximately 120 seconds.
