Abstract: A method of forming a material over a substrate includes performing at least one iteration of the following temporally separated ALD-type sequence. First, an outermost surface of a substrate is contacted with a first precursor to chemisorb a first species onto the outermost surface from the first precursor. Second, the outermost surface is contacted with a second precursor to chemisorb a second species different from the first species onto the outermost surface from the second precursor. The first and second precursors include ligands and different central atoms. At least one of the first and second precursors includes at least two different composition ligands. The two different composition ligands are polyatomic or a lone halogen. Third, the chemisorbed first species and the chemisorbed second species are contacted with a reactant which reacts with the first species and with the second species to form a reaction product new outermost surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and system are provided for modeling non-controllable parameters affecting system performance. The method may include receiving historical values for each of a plurality of system parameters and grouping the system parameters into controllable, non-controllable, and performance parameters. The method may further include determining a first set of predictors from the non-controllable parameters using the historical values of these non-controllable parameters and, for each predictor in the first set, determining optimal time instances at which a value of each predictor is measured using non-uniform time scales. These optimal time instances may then be saved as a second set of predictors. One or more constraints may then be established for each of the controllable parameters. Finally, a dynamic model based on the second set of predictors, the controllable parameters, and the performance parameters may be constructed and optimized.
