Plasma Enhanced CVD (PECVD)

PECVD – plasma-enhanced CVD:– glow-discharge plasmas (usually RF field: 100 kHz – 40 MHz), or MW – 2.54 GHz

plazma at reduced gas pressure between 50 mtorr and 5 torr) are sustained within chambers where simultaneous vapor-phase chemical reactions and film depositions occur

– plasma activation of reactions (average electron energies range from 1 to 10eV) ! chemical reactions occur at much lower temperatures than in thermalCVD

Main applications of PECVD: - microelectronics (DRAM cells) - plasma modification of metal surfaces (nitriding, carburizing): the atoms of nitrogen and carbon that deposit on metal surfaces

modify them by diffusing into the underlying matrix - diamond films

Atomic Layer deposition (CVD like)

Atomic scale deposition. ALD is similar in chemistry to CVD, except that the ALD reaction breaks the CVD reaction into two half- reactions, keeping the precursor materials separate during the reaction.

PVD – Physical Vapor DepositionEvaporation

Evaporation: controllably transfer atoms from a heated source to a substrate located a distance away, where film formation and growth proceed atomistically.

Thermal energy is imparted to atoms in a liquid or solid source such that their temperature is raised to the point where they either efficiently evaporate or sublime.

• Electrically heated evaporation sources (Thermal evaporation)• Pulsed laser deposition• Electron-beam evaporation• Molecular beam epitaxy• Ion beam assisted evaporation• Discharge based deposition methods (sputtering, arc evaporation )

What you need to remember

1. Difference between PVD and CVD. - PVD – evaporation or collision impact of the solid target - CVD – chemical processes in gaseous phase and the surface

2. The versatility of deposition methods is due to particular purposes including quality of the films (coating), size of sample, deposition price, ……

3. The quality of the film is a leading factor in the development of new deposition methods. Nowadays, those are:

a. Layer by layer deposition :examples – MBE (PVD), ALD (CVD)

b. PECVD
