We report in-situ doping of polysilicon grown on glass substrates by a LPCVD process. The growth rate, the resistivity and the dopant concentration of boron in-situ doped polysilicon layers are studied as a function of the deposition pressure and the dopant gas to silane mole ratio. A dependence of the axial uniformity on pressure and B 2 H 6 /SiH 4 mole ratio is put forward, and this effect appears to be very strong especially at high pressure. It is explained by a lowering of the diborane concentration in the gas mixture along the load, because of a different threshold for the thermal decomposition of diborane and silane. It is also put forward that a critical concentration of boron exists above which the growth rate is increasing. Improvements of the horizontal homogeneity are obtained by varying the total gas flow rate.

This paper present a new kind of equipment called the annular reactor, which has been designed to treat a great number of substrates with a particularly good uniformity of thickness of deposits on the batch. Furthermore, a small scale pilot plant of this apparatus, called the sector reactor, has been built. It constitutes a very convenient laboratory piece of equipment, particularly useful to perform, at low cost, the unavoidable experimental part of the development of any new application. Theoretical and experimental results obtained with these reactors are presented and compared to those obtained when using tubular reactors. First tests in order to produce cheap thick layers are also reported.

Design and creation of new materials with unusual, predictable or predeterminated properties become one of the most actual problems of modern applied chemistry. Main demands are discussed, which are made to chemical compounds used in CVD synthesis of functional materials. A division of volatile metal-containing precursors into main classes is given. On the basis of volatility and thermal stabiliti criteria elaborated at IGIC-NASU, we have designed, synthesized and characterized a series of new advanced precursors for Zr(IV) and Hf(IV). Their properties are compared to those of known species. A possibility of formation of requested properties and structure of final materials is shown.

A calculation model to study atomic layer deposition (ALD) in low-pressure channel-type CVD reactor with many parallel substrates is described. The calculations are based on continuity equation and kinetic equation for surface coverage. Formation of a steady-state adsorption wave propagating between the substrates during a precursor pulse is studied. The effect of diffusion and sticking coefficients, carrier gas flow rate and growth temperature on formation and propagation of the steady-state adsorption wave is analyzed.

The state of the art in research and application of processes of chemical vapour deposition of noble metal (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir , Ru, Au) coatings is considered. Systematization of known experimental data on synthesis, thermal properties and saturated vapour pressure of volatile compounds of noble metals with organic ligands is provided. The processes of CVD of noble metals were analized from general requirements to precursors. It is shown that chelate or mixed-ligand noble metal complexes and, in particular β-diketonate derivatives due to their thermal properties are the most suitable for deposition of noble metal thick films.

The evaporation and deposition process of Bis(acetylacetonato)platinum(II) (Pt(acac) 2 ) was examined in a computerized microbalance system, which allows the measuring of the mass of evaporating precursor and depositing layer simultaneously. The investigations were carried out in an argon-atmosphere and an argon/oxygen-atmosphere with pressure ranging from 250 Pa to 1000 Pa. The deposition kinetics were investigated in the temperature range between T dep = 523 K and T dep = 733 K. A strong dependence of the deposition rate on the pretreatment of the substrate was observed. Beginning the deposition on alumina with low deposition temperatures T dep an activation energy of 204 ± 9 kJ/mol was found. On platinum precoated substrates we observed higher deposition rates and lower values for the activation energy, if the precoating was carried out at temperature T pre > T dep . At long deposition times with T dep = const. the deposition rates on precoated substrates decreased to the values obtained without precoating at higher temperatures. This effect has not been clarified. In argon-atmosphere platinum layers containing carbon were deposited. Increasing the deposition temperature caused increased carbon contamination. The carbon can be removed by oxidation in air after the deposition. Platinum coatings without carbon contamination were obtained by adding oxygen during the deposition process.

A review is presented describing the development of TiN-CVD from the classical, high temperature TiCl 4 /N 2 process, towards low temperature MOCVD processes. This development is presented from a chemical point of view. In addition to low pressure (LPCVD) and atmospheric pressure (APCVD) thermal processing, also plasma enhanced (PECVD) techniques are described. In the past few years production facilities for good quality TiN layers for wear resistant applications have come on the market. Production facilities for IC-technology applications of CVD-TiN are on the edge of breaking through. For both applications deposition temperatures have been reduced to 500-600°C. Research developments, have shown even lower deposition temperatures possible for TiN and Ti(C,N) layers.

A simple classification scheme of low pressure chemical vapor deposition processes is discussed which is based on only three different one-dimensional models of the radial film thickness distribution on silicon wafers processed in a conventional horizontal hot-wall reactor. Comparing theoretical predictions of these models with experimental results obtained from various LPCVD processes, a good qualitative agreement can be stated. For better quantitative accuracy additional effects must be taken into account. The stoichiometrically induced radial flow for deposition reactions not preserving the mole number of involved gaseous species is very important for the parameter evaluation as well as model identification.

A design of experiments (DOE) approach has been used for the study of CVD ZrN coatings on cemented carbide substrates. DOE maximizes information gained from a set of experiments through statistical methods of design and analysis. A full factorial matrix of twenty experiments was designed using the variables (A) pressure, (B) temperature, (C) H 2 /ZrCl 4 and (D) N 2 /ZrCl 4 . Pressure ranged from 100 to 300 torr, temperature from 900 to 1050 °C, H 2 /ZrCl 4 from 20 to 60 and N 2 /ZrCl 4 from 5 to 25. The response for deposition rate is compared with theoretical prediction based on thermodynamic modeling of the system. A normal probability distribution was used to identify the variables that had a significant effect on deposition rate. These were found to be (B) temperature and (C) H 2 /ZrCl 4 . Interaction plots for (B) and (C) generated by the software clearly show this effect. These results are in agreement with the thermodynamic analysis and are similar to results for TiN coating. Other responses such as color, surface morphology, texture, adhesion and friction are reported.
