Micro/Nano Solids

Monash Uni Course

QuestionAnswer
Describe the Oxidation process Individual atoms from surrounding environment penetrate the surface of the substrate and a thin layer is formed
What temperatures do oxidation processes operate at? 700 degrees
Oxidation depends on which rates? Chemical reaction at the interface, & diffusion of the oxidant through existing oxide layer
Types of Chemical Vapour Deposition? Low Pressure CVD (LPCVD), Plasma Enhanced (PECVD)
Physical Deposition (Sputtering) atoms ejected from a solid due to bombardment, high pressure
Physical Deposition (Evaporation) Metal source heated to melting, atoms transported with the vapor to the substrate, 1nm/min
Chemical Deposition Process Reactant comes to surface, adsorption at surface, reaction, desorption, transport of by product
LPCVD Benefits Control unwanted gas-phase reactions, improve film uniformity,minimise diffusion effects
LPCVD Downsides Can take 3hrs for 15nm, only 3 mins for deposition but the rest for controlling temperature and pressure
PECVD Benefits Faster than LPCVD,Lower temps are good for components with low melting temp.
PECVD Downsides Film quality is not as good
Stress in deposited films is caused by Lattice mismatch, differences in thermal expansion coefficients
Photolithography - Preperation before coating Clean wafer, apply primer, rotate, soft bake, exposure and post bake
Photolithography - Exposure Methods Contact, Proximity, Projection
Types of Etching Physical (plasma etching), Chemical (wet etching)
Wet etchant to remove Si isotropically KOH or TMAH (tetra methyl amonium hydroxide)
Wet etchant to remove SiN (but not Si or SiO2) H3PO4
Isotropically etch SiO2? HF

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
