Process for fabricating films of uniform properties on semiconductor devices

摘要

A process for forming a thin layer exhibiting a substantially uniform property on an active surface of a semiconductor substrate. The process includes varying the temperature within a reaction chamber while a layer of a material is formed upon the semiconductor substrate. Varying the temperature within the reaction chamber facilitates temperature uniformity across the semiconductor wafer. As a result, a layer forming reaction occurs at a substantially consistent rate over the entire active surface of the semiconductor substrate. The process may also include oscillating the temperature within the reaction chamber while a layer of a material is being formed upon a semiconductor substrate.
