Abstract The use of hafnia (HfO2) has facilitated recent advances in combining uprated dielectric layers (UDLs) and environmental barriers (EBs) in supercomputers. However, an extremely low deposition rate limits further development and fabrication efficiency of HfO2 films. In this study, high-throughput growth of HfO2 films was realized via laser chemical vapor deposition using a laser spot with a gradient temperature distribution. In HfO2 films fabricated by a single growth process, four regions with different morphologies could be discerned for deposition temperatures increasing from 1300 K to 1600 K: leaf-like, pyramid-like, bromeliad-like and pinecone-like. Two growth modes were observed for Regions I and II: Stranski-Krastanov and Volmer-Weber. Regions III and IV contained coexisting monoclinic and tetragonal HfO2 grains with an in-plane boundary for m-HfO2 (-110) {111}//t-HfO2 (1-11) {111}. The maximum deposition rate reached 362 μm/h, which was 102 - 104 times higher than that obtained using existing deposition methods.

(004)-oriented γ-LiAlO2films were prepared on poly-crystalline AlN substrates by laser chemical vapor deposition at deposition temperature (Tdep) of 1100–1250 K, molar ratio of Li/Al (RLi/Al) of 1.0–10 and low total pressure (Ptot) of 100–200 Pa. The (004)-oriented γ-LiAlO2films consisted of pyramidal grains with a columnar structure. The deposition rate of (004)-oriented γ-LiAlO2films reached to 65–72 μm h-1.

Titania (TiO2) Films Having Dense and Solid Microstructure Were Prepared by Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition Using CO2 Laser. The Effects of Deposition Temperature (Tdep) and Total Chamber Pressure (Ptot) on Phase and Microstructure of TiO2 Films Were Investigated. At Ptot = 600 Pa and Tdep = 790 K, Rutile TiO2 Film Had a Polygonal Platelet Grains 2 μm in Size. At Ptot = 600 Pa and Tdep = 1010 K, Rutile TiO2 Film Had (110) Orientation and Consisted of a Truncated Polyhedron 5–6 μm in Size. At Ptot = 200 Pa and Tdep = 955 K, Rutile TiO2 Film Has a Solid Columnar Having Faceted Surface. A Dense and Solid TiO2 Film Was Obtained at Ptot = 200 Pa and Tdep = 1120 K. The Deposition Rate of TiO2 Solid Film Was Reached 240 μm h−1.

AbstractAn ion-assisted chemical vapor deposition method by which Cu is deposited preferentially from the bottom of trenches (anisotropic CVD) has been proposed in order to fill small via holes and trenches. By using Ar + H2 + C2H5OH[Cu(hfac)2] discharges with a ratio H2 / (H2 + Ar) = 83%, Cu is filled preferentially from the bottom of trenches without deposition on the sidewall and top surfaces. The deposition rate on the bottom surface of trenches is experimentally found to increase with decreasing its width.

Abstract Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a widely used manufacturing process for obtaining thin films of materials like silicon, silicon carbide, graphene and gallium nitride that are employed in the fabrication of electronic and optical devices. Gallium nitride (GaN) thin films are attractive materials for manufacturing optoelectronic device applications due to their wide band gap and superb optoelectronic performance. The reliability and durability of the devices depend on the quality of the thin films. The metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process is a common technique used to fabricate high-quality GaN thin films. The deposition rate and uniformity of thin films are determined by the thermal transport processes and chemical reactions occurring in the reactor, and are manipulated by controlling the operating conditions and the reactor geometrical configuration. In this study, the epitaxial growth of GaN thin films on sapphire (AL2O3) substrates is carried out in two commercial MOCVD systems. This paper focuses on the composition of the precursor and the carrier gases, since earlier studies have shown the importance of precursor composition. The results show that the flow rate of trimethylgallium (TMG), which is the main ingredient in the process, has a significant effect on the deposition rate and uniformity of the films. Also the carrier gas plays an important role in deposition rate and uniformity. Thus, the use of an appropriate mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen as the carrier gas can improve the deposition rate and quality of GaN thin films.
