11513108 · 2022-11-29 · ·

A system and method provides a more precise mole delivery amount of a process gas, for each pulse of a pulse gas delivery, by measuring a concentration of the process gas and controlling the amount of gas mixture delivered in a pulse of gas flow based on the received concentration of the process gas. The control of mole delivery amount for each pulse can be achieved by adjusting flow setpoint, pulse duration, or both.

SELECTIVE GRAPHENE DEPOSITION USING REMOTE PLASMA
20220375722 · 2022-11-24 ·

Graphene is deposited on a metal surface of a substrate using a remote hydrogen plasma chemical vapor deposition technique. The graphene may be deposited at temperatures below 400 C, which is suitable for semiconductor processing applications. Hydrogen radicals are generated in a remote plasma source located upstream of a reaction chamber, and hydrocarbon precursors are flowed into the reaction chamber downstream from the remote plasma source. The hydrocarbon precursors are activated by the hydrogen radicals under conditions to deposit graphene on the metal surface of the substrate in the reaction chamber.

Methods for forming films on substrates

Methods and systems for forming films on substrates in semiconductor processes are disclosed. The method includes providing different materials each contained in separate ampoules. Material is flowed from each ampoule into a separate portion of a showerhead contained within a process chamber via a heated gas line. From the showerhead, each material is flowed on to a substrate that sits on the surface of a rotating pedestal. Controlling the mass flow rate out of the showerhead and the rotation rate of the pedestal helps result in films with desirable material domain sizes to be deposited on the substrate.
