Nearly stoichiometric TiNxfilms were deposited on Al2O3substrates by laser enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with tetrakis (diethylamido) titanium (TDEAT) and ammonia as the source materials. Emphases were given on the effects of laser power (PL) and pre-heating temperature (Tpre) on the composition and deposition rate of TiNxfilms. Single phase of TiNxfilms with columnar cross section were obtained. The ratio of N to Ti in TiNxfilms increased with increasingPLand was close to stoichiometric atPL> 150 W. The deposition rate of TiNxfilms with a depositing area of 300 mm2was about 18-90 µm/h, which decreased with increasingPLandTpre.

C-Axis-Oriented Y2Ba4Cu7O15-δ (Y247) Films Were Prepared on Multilayer-Coated Hasterolly Tape Substrate by Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition with Ultrasonically Nebulized Liquid Precursor. At a Low Precursor Concentration of 0.01 mol l−1 and Deposition Temperature of 933 K, Single-Phase Y247 Film with Significant c-Axis Orientation Was Obtained. At a Precursor Concentration of 0.1 mol l−1 and Deposition Temperature 983 K, a-Axis-Oriented YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Y123) Was Codeposited with C-Axis Oriented Y247 Film.

Al2O3-AlN composite film was first prepared by laser chemical vapor deposition (laser CVD) using aluminum acetylacetonate (Al(acac)3) and ammonia (NH3) as source materials. The effects of NH3 on the crystal phase, composition and microstructure were investigated. The crystal phase changed from α-Al2O3 to AlN gradually with increasing the mole ratio of NH3 to Ar. Al2O3-AlN composite film was obtained at NH3/Ar ratio ranged from 0.09 to 0.16 (Tdep = 862–887 K), and AlN granular grains were embedded in between α-Al2O3 polyhedral grains.

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.

A novel two-step metalorganic chemical vapor deposition process was used in this study to prepare Sr1−xBaxNb2O6 (SBN) thin films. Two thin layers of single-phase SrNb2O6 and BaNb2O6 were deposited alternately on a silicon substrate, and the solid solution of SBN was obtained by high-temperature annealing. The stoichiometry control of the SrNb2O6 and the BaNb2O6 thin films was achieved through deposition process control, according to the evaporation characteristics of double metal alkoxide. The evaporation behavior of double metal alkoxide precursors SrNb2(1-OC4H9)12 and BaNb2(1-OC4H9)12 was studied, and the results were compared with the evaporation of single alkoxide Nb(1-OC4H9)5.

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.
