CYCLICAL DEPOSITION METHODS AND STRUCTURES FORMED USING THE METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18434982 titled 'CYCLICAL DEPOSITION METHODS AND STRUCTURES FORMED USING THE METHODS

Simplified Explanation

Methods and systems for depositing a layer comprising silicon oxide on the substrate are disclosed. Exemplary methods include cyclical deposition methods that include providing a first silicon precursor to the reaction chamber, providing a second silicon precursor, and using a reactant or a non-reactant gas forming silicon oxide on a surface of the substrate. Exemplary methods can further include a treatment step.

  • Silicon oxide layer deposition methods
