Abstract:
Metallic layers can be selectively deposited on surfaces of a substrate relative to a second surface of the substrate. In preferred embodiments, the metallic layers are selectively deposited on copper instead of insulating or dielectric materials. In preferred embodiments, a first precursor forms a layer or adsorbed species on the first surface and is subsequently reacted or converted to form a metallic layer. Preferably the deposition temperature is selected such that a selectivity of above about 90% is achieved.
Abstract:
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for forming Group VA element containing thin films, such as Sb, Sb-Te, Ge-Sb and Ge-Sb-Te thin films are provided, along with related compositions and structures. Sb precursors of the formula Sb( SiR 1 R 2 R 3 ) 3 are preferably used, wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are alkyl groups. As, Bi and P precursors are also described. Methods are also provided for synthesizing these Sb precursors. Methods are also provided for using the Sb thin films in phase change memory devices.
Abstract:
