A method of forming a structure is provided. The method includes supporting a substrate within a reaction chamber of a semiconductor processing system, flowing a silicon precursor and a germanium precursor into the reaction chamber, and forming a silicon-germanium layer overlaying the substrate with the silicon containing precursor and the germanium precursor. Concentration of the germanium precursor within the reaction chamber is increased during the forming of the silicon-germanium layer overlaying the substrate. Methods of forming film stack structures, semiconductor device structures, and semiconductor processing systems are also described.

Film deposition systems and methods

A method of forming a silicon germanium layer on a surface of a substrate and a system for forming a silicon germanium layer are disclosed. Examples of the disclosure provide a method that includes providing a plurality of growth precursors to control and/or promote parasitic gas-phase and surface reactions, such that greater control of the film (e.g., thickness and/or composition) uniformity can be realized.

Methods for silicon germanium uniformity control using multiple precursors

A method of forming structure includes providing a substrate in a reaction chamber, forming a first layer overlaying the substrate, and forming a second layer onto the first layer. Temperature of the first layer is controlled during the forming of the first layer using infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted by the first layer. Temperature of the second layer is controlled during the forming of the second layer using infrared electromagnetic radiation emitted by the second layer. Semiconductor device structures and semiconductor processing systems are also described.
