Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating devices having a material with crystalline content, the method being performed using an eddy current inductively coupled linear plasma source having a width and a length, the length being substantially greater than the width; the plasma source having a) a substantially conductive body comprising one or more conductive segments interrupted by at least one dielectric break; b) a current carrier adjacent to the substantially conductive body; c) a power supply that furnishes alternating current power to the current carrier, the current carrier inducing eddy currents within the one or more conductive segments; d) a process chamber attached to the conductive body so as to allow transport of chemical species from the conductive body to the process chamber, the method comprising: providing one or more reactive gases to the process chamber; generating a pure inductively coupled plasma with the plasma source; and translating a substrate beneath the plasma source using process conditions for producing the material with crystalline content; wherein the material with crystalline content is deposited at a rate greater than 5 Å (0.5 nm) per second.
