Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a sufficiently uniform layer regarding layer thickness, stoichiometry, and electrical characteristics, and for manufacturing a ferroelectric or paraelectric solid layer by vapor deposition. SOLUTION: In the method for manufacturing the crystalline solid layer on a substrate by the vapor deposition, at least one assistant other than a departure gas containing the element of the solid layer that can be deposited is introduced into a reaction chamber. In this case, the assistant has a dipole moment, and contains a molecule adhering onto the surface of the substrate having the dipole moment in a vertical direction to the surface of the substrate quickly during a deposition process, thus determining the crystal structure of the solid layer in advance.

Abstract:
The wafer (1) is held in position by an electrostatic chuck (4) against an electrode (3). A focus ring (2) surrounds the wafer. The ring leaves a free space below the section of the wafer which projects outside the chuck and between ring and wafer. To fill this space a positioning device (31) in the form of Elift pinse is provided so that the wafer can be positioned against the focus ring, the position being monitored by a camera. Provision can be made so that the device can also have a small horizontal movement, e.g. approx. 1mm.

Abstract:
Production of a crystalline solid body layer on a substrate (3) by CVD comprises introducing an auxiliary material (H) into the reaction chamber in addition to the starting gases (P) containing the elements of the solid body layer. The auxiliary material is obtained in such a way that it contains molecules which have a dipole moment and the properties to deposit during the deposition process over a short time on the substrate surface to form the crystal structure of the solid body layer. Preferred Features: The auxiliary material is introduced from an external supply such as a supply vessel. The auxiliary material consists of reaction products of the CVD process pumped from the reaction chamber.
