Abstract:
1. A method of performing a molecular layer deposition, comprising: (a) injecting a first source precursor onto a substrate; (b) injecting a first reactant precursor on the substrate injected with the first source precursor to deposit a layer of metal-containing hybrid organic-inorganic polymer on the substrate, wherein the first reactant precursor comprises an organic compound; (c) generating radicals of a gas or a mixture of gases; (d) injecting the generated radicals onto the deposited layer to place the deposited layer in a reactive state, the generated radicals different from the first reactant precursor; and (e) injecting a second source precursor onto the substrate with the deposited layer in the reactive state, the adsorption of the second source precursor on the deposited layer facilitated by an increased number of nucleation sites on the deposited layer generated by placing the deposited layer in the reactive state.
