Abstract: A method for forming a silicon-comprising layer on a substrate may comprise providing the substrate to a process chamber, the process chamber being comprised in a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) furnace. A repetitive deposition cycle is performed. The deposition cycle comprises a first deposition pulse and a second deposition pulse comprising a provision, into the process chamber, of a first precursor and a second precursor, respectively. The deposition cycle further comprises a first purge pulse and a second purge pulse for removing, from the process chamber, a portion of the first precursor and a portion of the second precursor, respectively. The process chamber is maintained, during the deposition cycle, at a process temperature in a range from about 400° C. to about 650° C. and at a first pressure being different from a second pressure, during the first deposition pulse and during the second deposition pulse, respectively.

Abstract: A method for forming layers with silicon is disclosed. The layers may be created by positioning a substrate within a processing chamber, heating the substrate to a first temperature between 300 and 500° C. and introducing a first precursor into the processing chamber to deposit a first layer. The substrate may be heated to a second temperature between 400 and 600° C.; and, a second precursor may be introduced into the processing chamber to deposit a second layer. The first and second precursor may comprise silicon atoms and the first precursor may have more silicon atoms per molecule than the second precursor.

Abstract: There is provided a method of filling one or more gaps by providing the substrate in a reaction chamber and introducing a first reactant to the substrate with a first dose, thereby forming no more than about one monolayer by the first reactant on a first area; introducing a second reactant to the substrate with a second dose, thereby forming no more than about one monolayer by the second reactant on a second area of the surface, wherein the first and the second areas overlap in an overlap area where the first and second reactants react and leave an initially unreacted area where the first and the second areas do not overlap; and, introducing a third reactant to the substrate with a third dose, the third reactant reacting with the first or second reactant remaining on the initially unreacted area.
