Abstract:
An apparatus for forming a film on a substrate, said film containing first and second deposition materials, said apparatus comprising:a vacuum chamber; an insert positioned within said vacuum chamber, said insert comprising a first deposition source material; a source of a first process gas connected to a first inlet, said insert being located at a distal end of said inlet; a power source electrically coupled to said apparatus for generating a plasma adjacent said insert so as to vaporize said first deposition source material and thereby cause said vaporized first deposition source material to mix with said first process gas; a source of a second process gas connected to a second inlet, said second process gas comprising a second deposition source material, wherein said second process gas mixes with said vaporized first deposition source material causing a film of said first and second deposition materials to form on said substrate from said first and second deposition source materials; and a shield electrically coupled to said first inlet.
