Atomic layer deposition method

摘要

An atomic layer deposition method includes positioning a semiconductor substrate within an atomic layer deposition chamber. A first precursor gas is flowed to the substrate within the atomic layer deposition chamber effective to form a first monolayer on the substrate. After forming the first monolayer, a reactive intermediate gas is flowed to the substrate within the deposition chamber. The reactive intermediate gas is capable of reaction with an intermediate reaction by-product from the first precursor flowing under conditions of the reactive intermediate gas flowing. After flowing the reactive intermediate gas, a second precursor gas is flowed to the substrate within the deposition chamber effective to form a second monolayer on the first monolayer. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
