Methods of depositing a film comprising positioning a plurality of substrates on a substrate support in a processing chamber having a plurality of processing regions, each processing region separated from an adjacent region by a gas curtain. Alternating exposure to first reactive gases, purge gases, second reactive gases, and purge gas in at least one of the processing regions to deposit a film.

Atomic layer deposition of films using spatially separated injector chamber

Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to methods of adjusting transistor flat band voltage, and transistor gates formed using the same. In one embodiment, a method sequentially includes cleaning a substrate, annealing the substrate in a nitrogen-containing environment to form silicon-nitrogen bonds, hydroxylating the substrate surface, and depositing a hafnium oxide layer over the substrate. In another embodiment, the method further includes depositing an aluminum oxide layer over the substrate prior to depositing the hafnium oxide layer, and then annealing the substrate.
