SUMMARY

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Thin film deposition processes play a critical role in the production of high-density, high-performance microelectronic products. Considerable progress has been achieved in the development of deposition processes -- and in the development of the reactor systems in which they are carried out. This report discusses relevant mechanisms; processing, system, and materials aspects, potential advances, and considerations regarding extendibility to a wafer diameter of 300 mm.

With the introduction of new thin-film materials to consistently shrinking microelectronic devices and circuits, and as the aperture ratio of an integrated-circuit structure increases, conformal step coverage becomes increasingly difficult to achieve. This report compares some of the issues impacting users of different deposition tools, including: APCVD (SACVD), LPCVD, PECVD, HDPCVD, ALCVD, PVD.

In addition., as device geometries shrink, semiconductor manufacturing has become increasingly complex and precise, requiring a better understanding of the specific processes involved. These issues are described in the report.

This report discusses the technology trends, products, applications, and suppliers of materials and equipment. It also gives insights to suppliers for future user needs and should assist them in long range planning, new product development and product improvement. A market forecast for Thin Film Deposition Tools is presented to 2004.
