"Flex AL" for
Atomic Layer Deposition based on the
Plasmalab System 100

HfN ALD (radical assisted by remote plasma)


precursor: TEMAH

TEMAH molecule
tetrakis ethylmethylamino hafnium
TEMAH is heated to 70° C and used in
"bubbling mode".

non metal precursor: NH3 or N2/ H2

dose control by fast pulse ALD valve

0.9 A/ cycle


"OpAL" for
Atomic Layer Deposition based on the
Plasmalab 80 Plus

Why remote plasma ALD ?

A "remote plasma" makes sure, the substrates
are NOT in contact with the plasma !

The remote plasma just cracks molecules,
so that very reactive species can be used for
the growth process.

Such reactive species often enable a very
efficient plasma preclean of the substrates,
lead to cleaner films and lower the deposition
temperature.
