A prospective line in the development of thermo-chemical treatments under glow discharge conditions is to work out new techniques of producing multicomponent layers, e.g., composite layers, by combining various treatments, such as e.g. plasma nitriding and the PACVD method. The combined properties, appropriately selected and complementary to one another, of the single-component layers obtained using one of these processes, permit widening the application range of the layers. The paper specifies the conditions under which the multicomponent layers of Ti(OCN) type and composite layers of the nitrided + TiN or nitrided + Ti(OCN) type can be produced on steel. The structure and properties of the layers thus obtained are also described.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The effective dissipated power in SiH 4 -CH 4 -H 2 plasmas excited by 13.56 MHz has been measured for different gas ratios using a subtractive technique to take into account the effects of power losses in the rf circuit. It is found that the dissipated power in general increases with increasing CH 4 concentration and decreases with increasing H 2 concentration. Optical, electrical and defective properties of films deposited under a wide range of deposition conditions have been measured and correlated with dissipated power.

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.

The effectiveness of hydrogen plasma for the reduction process of surface native oxide on InP substrates is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and by phase modulated spectroscopic ellipsometry (PMSE). H2 plasmas, generated in a quartz tube by applying a r.f. field (13.56 MHz) to external electrodes, produce a very high H-atom flux (5.10 20 atoms/cm 2 .sec) in the downstream region. The ex-situ XPS and in-situ PMSE measurements indicate that the native oxide layer (25 A) is completely removed. The end point of the cleaning process is well detected by kinetic ellipsometry. The plasma treated surface shows a higher stability to reoxidation than that observed for wet etches samples.

Copper thin films have been deposited by thermal decomposition of copper acetylacetonate-oxygen mixtures. Copper films of high quality as observed by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) have been obtained at temperatures as low as 300°C. Under UV illumination, this temperature threshold decreased down to 225°C. The influence of substrate temperature and layer thickness on film roughness as observed by Atomic Force Microscopy is discussed. The kinetics of Cu(acac) 2 decomposition has been investigated as a function of precursor partial pressure and substrate temperature in the range of 200-350°C, and the maximum deposition rate of 25 A/min has been reached in the mass transport regime at a substrate temperature of 350°C and a precursor partial pressure of 0.04 Torr. The deposition rate could be substancially enhanced by UV photoassistance.
