Diamond film was synthesized on thin Ti wafers (as thin as 40 μm) via hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD). The hydrogen embrittlement of the titanium substrate and the formation of a thick TiC interlayer were suppressed. A very low pressure (133 Pa) was employed to achieve high-density rapid nucleation and thus to suppress the formation of TiC. Oxygen was added to source gases to lower the growth temperature and therefore to slow down the hydrogenation of the thin Ti substrate. The role of the very low pressure during nucleation is discussed, providing insight into the nucleation mechanism of diamond on a titanium substrate. The as-grown diamond films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray analysis.

A nonlinear dynamic model of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process has been developed to aid design of a closed-loop control system. A lumped control volume analysis is used to capture important mass and fluid transients and spatial affects, while a simplified single variable equation is used to represent the complex reaction chemistry. Steady-state experimental results and model predictions are compared and the control implications of the process dynamics are discussed.

There is a progressing interests for polycrystalline diamonds and they have been more extensively used recently. This area has been intensively researched due to the outstanding potential of this material, and this necessitated presenting some of the latest application related to engineering in this paper. A better insight of polycrystalline diamonds properties can be achieved by intensively researching the surface structure. Samples of nanocrystalline diamonds grown by the chemical vapor deposition method are analyzed and accordingly, the focus of the research was the surface parameters and their structure. It is observed that waviness and texture are unique for any direction, their values are almost the same for the chosen directions and they vary approximately from -0.2 nm to 0.4 nm. Analyses of the parameters allowed a more detailed insight into the morphology of the surfaces of polycrystalline films.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this publication is to give an insight into process development performed in two modules which belong to a cluster tool designed for the gate stack process sequence of cleaning, gate oxidation, and polysilicon chemical vapor deposition. For the first time, following the hardware and software MESC-based standards, two suppliers have integrated complementary modules to build a cluster tool. This equipment answers the demands of the 1C Manufacturers and follows the “best of breed” approach. Four single wafer rapid thermal process chambers, a Vapor Phase Cleaning (VPC) and a Rapid Thermal Oxidation/Nitridation (RTO/N) module from STEAG-AST Elektronik, a polysilicon and a nitride chemical vapor deposition module from ASM International are currently connected together to prove the feasibility of the single wafer processing gate stack cluster tool.
