Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems and methods for forming layers on a substrate are disclosed. Embodiments of the system comprise a chamber having a controlled environmental temperature and pressure and containing a first environment for performing CVD on a substrate, and a second environment for contacting the substrate with a plasma; a substrate transport system capable of positioning a substrate for sequential processing in each environment, and a gas control system capable of maintaining site isolation. Methods of forming layers on a substrate comprise forming a first layer from a precursor on a substrate in a CVD environment, contacting the substrate with plasma in a plasma environment, wherein the forming and contacting steps are performed in the unitary system and repeating the forming and contacting steps until a layer of desired thickness is formed. The forming and contacting steps can be performed to form devices having multiple distinct layers, such as Group III-V thin film devices. |
