20150329965 | METHODS OF LOW TEMPERATURE DEPOSITION OF CERAMIC THIN FILMS - A method is provided for low temperature deposition of ceramic thin films of carbides, nitrides and mixed phases such as carbo-nitrides by atomic layer deposition (ALD), nano-layer deposition (NLD), and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The deposition chemistries employ combinations of precursors to affect thin film processes at substantially lower temperatures than current deposition processes of thin films of boron (B) carbides, nitrogen (N), nitrides, carbonitrides of silicon (Si), carbon (C), germanium (Ge), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), and selenium (S) on substrates. The inventive ALD and corresponding NLD and CVD process methods provide lower temperature deposition of various thin films comprising elements from the group B, C, Si, Ge, N, P, As and O, S and Se. The reactive precursor combinations are selected on the basis of reactivity towards one another as determined by the variation of Gibb's free energy (ΔG) with respect to deposition temperature. | 11-19-2015 |
