    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments herein, methods and apparatuses for deposition of thin films are provided. In some embodiments, a deposition reactor is provided comprising: a first station configured to contain a substrate, the first station comprising a first heating element; a second station configured to contain the substrate, the second station comprising a second heating element, wherein the first station is configured to contact the substrate with a first reactant in the first station in substantial isolation from the second station such that a layer of the first reactant is deposited on the substrate, wherein the first heating element is configured to heat the first station to a first station temperature during contacting of the substrate with the first reactant, wherein the second station is configured to contact the substrate with a second reactant in the second station substantially in the absence of the first reactant, and wherein the second heating element is configured to heat the second station to a second station temperature during contacting of the substrate with the second reactant, a transfer system; and a controller set to control a cycle of: moving the substrate via the transfer system to the first station, directing the first station to contact the substrate with the first reactant at the first station temperature, moving the substrate to the second station via the transfer system, and directing the second station to contact the substrate with the second reactant at the second station temperature, and further set to repeat the cycle until a film of desired thickness is formed on a surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: Methods for depositing oxide thin films, such as metal oxide, metal silicates, silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) and silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN) thin films, on a substrate in a reaction space are provided. The methods can include at least one plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) cycle including alternately and sequentially contacting the substrate with a first reactant that comprises oxygen and a component of the oxide, and a second reactant comprising reactive species that does not include oxygen species. In some embodiments the plasma power used to generate the reactive species can be selected from a range to achieve a desired step coverage or wet etch rate ratio (WERR) for films deposited on three dimensional features. In some embodiments oxide thin films are selectively deposited on a first surface of a substrate relative to a second surface, such as on a dielectric surface relative to a metal or metallic surface.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to the field of semiconductor processing and more particularly to resistive random access memory and methods for manufacturing such memory. In one aspect, a method of fabricating a memory cell includes providing a substrate and providing a first electrode on the substrate. The method additionally includes depositing, via atomic layer deposition, a resistive switching material on the first electrode, wherein the resistive switching material comprises an oxide comprising a pnictogen chosen from the group consisting of As, Bi, Sb, and P. The resistive switching material may be doped, e.g., with Sb or an antimony-metal alloy. A second electrode may be formed over and in contact with the resistive switching material.

    Abstract: Methods of treating metal-containing thin films, such as films comprising titanium carbide, with a silane or a borane agent are provided. In some embodiments a film comprising titanium carbide is deposited on a substrate by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. The process may include a plurality of deposition cycles involving alternating and sequential pulses of a first source chemical that comprises titanium and at least one halide ligand, a second source chemical comprising metal and carbon, wherein the metal and the carbon from the second source chemical are incorporated into the thin film, and a third source chemical, wherein the third source chemical is a silane or borane that at least partially reduces oxidized portions of the titanium carbide layer formed by the first and second source chemicals. In some embodiments treatment forms a capping layer on the metal carbide film.
