Abstract: Methods and structures relating to the formation of mixed SAMs for preventing undesirable growth or nucleation on exposed surfaces inside a reactor are described. A mixed SAM (322) can be formed on surfaces (308) for which nucleation is not desired by introducing a first SAM precursor having molecules of a first length (334) and a second SAM precursor having molecules of a second length (338) shorter than the first. Examples of exposed surfaces for which a mixed SAM (322) can be provided over include reactor surfaces and select surfaces of integrated circuit structures (800), such as insulator and dielectric layers.

Abstract: Methods are provided herein for forming thin films comprising oxygen by atomic layer deposition. The thin films comprising oxygen can be deposited by providing higher concentration water pulses, a higher partial pressure of water in the reaction space, and/or a higher flow rate of water to a substrate in a reaction space. Thin films comprising oxygen can be used, for example, as dielectric oxides in transistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and other semiconductor applications.

Abstract: Protective layers (208) are formed on a surface (201) of an atomic layer deposition (ALD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor (100). Parts defining a reaction space (200) for an ALD or CVD reactor (100) can be treated, in situ or ex situ, with chemicals (206) that deactivate reactive sites (210) on the reaction space surface(s) (201). A pre-treatment step (502) can maximize the available reactive sites (210) prior to the treatment step (504). With reactive sites (210) deactivated by adsorbed treatment reactant (208), during subsequent processing the reactant gases (214) have reduced reactivity or deposition upon these treated surfaces. Accordingly, purge steps (310, 314) can be greatly shortened and a greater number of runs can be conducted between cleaning steps to remove built-up deposition on the reactor walls.

Abstract: A reactor having a housing that encloses a gas delivery system (14) operatively connected to a reaction chamber (16) and an exhaust assembly (18). The gas delivery system includes a plurality of gas lines for providing at least one process gas to the reaction chamber. The gas delivery system further includes a mixer (20) for receiving the at least one process gas. The mixer is operatively connected to a diffuser (22) that is configured to diffuse process gases. The diffuser is attached directly to an upper surface (24) of the reaction chamber, thereby forming a diffuser volume therebetween. The diffuser includes at least one distribution surface that is configured to provide a flow restriction to the process gases as they pass through the diffuser volume before being introduced into the reaction chamber. The reaction chamber defines a reaction space in which a semiconductor substrate is disposed for processing. The exhaust assembly is operatively connected to the reaction chamber for withdrawing unreacted process gases and effluent from the reaction space.
