Abatement of effluents from chemical vapor deposition processes using organometallic source reagents

摘要

A method and apparatus for abatement of effluent from a CVD process using a source reagent having a metal organic loosely bound to a organic or organometallic molecule such that upon exposure to heat such bond is readily cleavable, e.g., copper deposition process involving the formation of films on a substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) utilizing a precursor composition for such film formation. The abatement process in specific embodiments facilitates high efficiency abatement of effluents from copper deposition processes utilizing Cu(hfac)TMVS as a copper source reagent.
