Deposition Behavior

let us consider some of the factors that arise when we form CVD poly, and then when we try to dope it in-situ. Although CVD poly can be de- 

So far, we have ignored the primary reason poly films are used in integrated circuits. Heavily-doped poly is used as a gate electrode, and the electrical conductivity of this material is of prime importance. Therefore, we have to inquire into the feasibility of doping poly as it is being deposited by CVD. 

There are two issues that have to be resolved when reviewing these results. One-why is the deposition rate reduced by such a large factor Second—why is the deposition nonuniform now, when it was uniform without the PH3 The explanation proposed10 for the first question is that PH3 preferentially adsorbs on the silicon surface, preventing SiH4 from adsorbing and subsequently decomposing to Si and H2. 

Because of the above-mentioned difficulties in trying to dope poly with phosphorus in situ, such films have traditionally been deposited undoped. Doping can then be accomplished by ion implantation or diffusion.

Zinc and tin The electrodeposition of Zn [52] has been investigated in acidic chloroaluminate liquids on gold, platinum, tungsten, and glassy carbon. On glassy carbon only three-dimensional bulk deposition was observed, due to the metal s underpotential deposition behavior. At higher overvoltages, codeposition with A1... 

The wax deposition behaviors of Bombay high crude oil have been studied under different conditions using a cold disk-type assembly [769]. It is observed that the deposition occurs much less with additive-treated crude than with... 

An empirical treatment developed by Kolb et al. [81, 82] relating UPD behavior to the difference in work function between the substrate and depositing species has been used to explain anomalous co-deposition behavior observed in Ni-Fe and Ni-Zn alloys [83]. Although the relationship appears to hold for pure underpotential deposition limited to a monolayer, it does not satisfactorily predict bulk alloy behavior. For example, based on work function data alone, one would expect Zn-Al and Sb-Al alloys to be formed by underpotential alloy deposition. Recent reports in the literature, however, indicate that alloying in these systems does not occur [46, 84]. 

Over the last decade, selected papers1114 have examined the deposition of fluoropolymers, using RF magnetron sputtering. All of these papers have examined the deposition of PTFE, with some of them2314 also studying the deposition of polyimide (PI) films. This chapter extends these studies and will report on the sputter deposition behavior of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), PVDF (polyvinylidenefluoride), and FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer) films.

Otherwise changes in metal deposition behavior with pH could be involved. Due to the competition between reduction of metal ions and hydrogen ions at the cathode the pH affects metal deposition. The current efficiency70 of nickel deposition was seen to decrease markedly below pH 2 in the presence of SiC particles. Unfortunately, it was not determined if this effect is accompanied by a decrease in particle content below pH 2. 

It is assumed that the these additives catalyze particle incorporation by enhancing metal ion adsorption. The relation between adsorbed metal ions and particle codeposition is still controversial (Section IV), so it can not be excluded that other processes play a role. The additives will also affect the metal deposition behavior through complexation of metal ions (EDTA, NH4+) or adsorption at the metal surface (Tl+, amines). These processes have to be investigated to obtain a definite explanation for the promoting effect of these additives. 

The nature of the current density dependence of particle codeposition is the most disputed aspect in the mechanism of composite plating (Section IV). In the simplest case the particle deposition rate is not affected by the current density, either because of particle mass transfer limitations or a current density independent particle-electrode interaction. Since the metal deposition rate increases with current density, this results in a continuously decreasing particle composite content. In other cases the particle-electrode interaction has to be current density dependent. An unambiguous explanation for this dependence has not yet been found, but it is apparent that the metal deposition behavior is involved. 

Despite these successes, important process parameters, like bath agitation, bath constituents and particle type are disregarded. The constants k, 0 and B inherently account for these constants, but they have to be determined separately for every set of process parameters. Moreover, the postulated current density dependence of the particle deposition rate, that is Eq. (2), is not correct. A peak in the current density against the particle composite content curve, as often observed (Section III.3.H), can not be described. The fact that the peak is often accompanied by a kink in the polarization curve indicates that also the metal deposition behavior can not be accounted for by the Tafel equation (Eq. 4). Likewise, the (1-0 term in this equation signifies a polarization of the metal deposition reaction, whereas frequently the opposite is observed (Section 111.3,(0 It can be concluded that Guglielmi s mechanism... 

There are a number of properties required for compounds to be suitable as precursors for MOVPE these include sufficient vapor pressure to allow suitable growth rates, abihty to be highly purified, controllable deposition behavior, stabihty in storage, and stability with other species during vapor-phase transport. 

Ihara and Yasuda investigated the deposition behavior of methane in the medium-sized tubular reactor with 13.56 MHz radio frequency discharge [2]. They observed that the critical WjFM value, WjFM), for methane was 8GJ/kg, and nearly 100% of monomers were converted to the plasma polymer beyond this critical WjFM value. As shown in Figure 19.5, the critical WjFM value of perfluoropropene in the small reactor is around 6GJ/kg and the DjFM is 15%, and the corresponding value in the medium is around 4GJ/kg, and the maximal conversion is around 30%. In the large reactor, (WIFM) is about 1 GJ/kg and the maximal DjFM is 20%. The lower value of the critical WjFM for C3F6 than that for CH4 is explained in Chapter 7. 

Dip coating is analogous to a slip casting process for making ceramic parts. The membrane deposition behavior by slip casting can be described by a theory of colloidal filtration for incompressible cakes [Aksay and Schilling, 1984] and compressible cakes [Tiller and Tsai, 1986). The theory predicts that the thickness of the consolidated layer, L, is given by... 

To categorize in a simple way the behavior of surface alloys we will use the so-called surface energy curve which is the surface energy of a pseudomorphic monolayer of a random AcBi-c alloy on the surface of B Although such a surface alloy is almost never realized in practice, it is quite useful in theoretical considerations. First of all, the surface energy of such an alloy may easily, and quite accurately, be determined by first-principles calculations [15,24]. Secondly, it allows one to categorize the deposition behavior in a simple way, and to predict some general features of real surface alloys.

Although the focus of UPD work is often on single-crystal surfaces of Au, Ag, or Pt, much important electrochemistry occurs on more technically relevant materials and materials which are less easily prepared. Work in the Gewirth group has focused on Cu surfaces with the goals of understanding aspects of Cu surface chemistry and developing relationships between this surface chemistry and the subsequent Cu bulk deposition behavior. The focus on bulk deposition of Cu is important because of the use of this process in industry.
