Abstract:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit, said method comprising the steps of:(a) placing a substrate inside an enclosed deposition chamber;(b) providing a liquid precursor comprising a metal compound in a solvent;(c) utilizing a venturi to produce a mist of said liquid precursor;(d) controlling the flow of said liquid precursor to said venturi with a liquid mass flow controller;(e) introducing said mist produced by said venturi into said deposition chamber to deposit a layer containing said metal on said substrate;(f) treating said layer deposited on said substrate to form a thin film of solid material containing said metal on said substrate; and(g) continuing the fabrication of said integrated circuit to include at least a portion of said thin film of solid material in a component of said integrated circuit.
