Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (ICPCVD)

Delivers deposition of high quality dielectric films at low temperature with low damage

PlasmaPro 100 ICPCVD

Achieves superior film quality with low substrate damage


Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)


CVD is a well-established technique for deposition of a wide variety of films with different compositions and thicknesses down to a single layer of atoms.

  • Substrate sits directly on electrode which can be heated up to 1200˚C
  • Gas injected into process chamber via “showerhead” gas inlet in the top electrode
  • Solid/liquid precursor delivery system for novel processes such as 2D materials MOCVD, ZnO nanowire CVD etc.
  • Automatic load lock to transfer sample directly on to a hot table and save time on heating and cooling.
  • Plasma enhancement options for lower temperature deposition or plasma assisted conversion or functionalization as well as chamber cleaning.
  • Wide range of processes possible in the same chamber
  • PlasmaPro 100 Nano is a high temperature CVD/PECVD system tailored for high quality deposition of nanostructured materials and Silicon based thin films.


Features and benefits of CVD


  • Up to 1200˚C table temperature
  • Direct and remote plasma enhancement options
  • Operating pressures up to 5 Torr (higher possible)
  • Dry plasma cleaning process with end-point control removes or reduces need for physical/chemical chamber cleaning
  • Multiple heated/cooled liquid/solid precursors delivery system in addition to 12 gas delivery lines.
  • Offers a wide range of material deposition, including:
    • Si based PECVD/ICP CVD processes and high temperature CVD processes in the same chamber
    • 1D materials growth such as Carbon nanotubes, ZnO nanowires and Si Nanowires
    • 2D materials growth such as Graphene, hBN, MoS2/WS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)


Processing of CVD


Graphene

This specification is issued for Graphene obtained through CVD processes.

  • Load-locked system offers higher throughput, as no cooling of the growth chamber is required to exchange samples
  • He purge gas is required for the process
  • The presence of Graphene layer(s) will be tested by Raman Spectroscopy peak 2D analysis
  • 1 layer Graphene will be confirmed by Raman Spectroscopy


2D hBN

This specification is issued for Boron Nitride obtained through CVD processes. For the purpose of process demonstration, B2H6 is used as Boron source and NH3 as the Nitrogen sources on Cu/Ni foils as catalyst substrates.


2D MoS2 and TMDs

We offer PECVD systems equipped with precursor vapour delivery modules for the growth of two-dimensional layers of materials like MoS2, WS2 etc.

Excellent thickness control with low defects and strong photoluminescence

High-quality MoS2:

  • AFM shows defined step height and smooth uniform film
  • Raman indicates one mono-layer is deposited with characteristic peaks spaced 21.1cm-1 apart
