Abstract
Methods and apparatus for vapor deposition of an organic film are configured to vaporize an organic reactant at a first temperature, transport the vapor to a reaction chamber housing a substrate, and maintain the substrate at a lower temperature than the vaporization temperature. Alternating contact of the substrate with the organic reactant and a second reactant in a sequential deposition sequence can result in bottom-up filling of voids and trenches with organic film in a manner otherwise difficult to achieve. Deposition reactors conducive to depositing organic films are provided.
Claims20
A method for vapor depositing an organic film, comprising:
- vaporizing a first organic reactant in a vaporizer at a temperature A to form a first reactant vapor;
- exposing a substrate in a reaction space to the first reactant vapor, wherein the substrate is at a temperature B, the temperature B being lower than the temperature A;
- and
- depositing the organic film on the substrate.
A method for reducing an aspect ratio of three-dimensional structures on a substrate, comprising:
- vaporizing a first reactant to form a first reactant vapor;
- exposing a substrate in a reaction space to the first reactant vapor, the substrate comprising a topography with a three-dimensional structure;
- and
- depositing an organic film over the substrate preferentially over lower features of the topography compared to higher features of the topography such that the organic film reduces an aspect ratio of the three-dimensional structure on the substrate as it deposits, wherein depositing includes exposing the substrate to the first reactant vapor.
