Patent ID: 8399365

Claim:
A method comprising: forming a film of titanium silicon oxide by a monolayer or partial monolayer sequencing process, the titanium silicon oxide being Ti x Si y O z with x>0, y>0, and z>0, the forming of the titanium silicon oxide by the monolayer or partial monolayer sequencing process including pulsing a titanium-containing precursor independently from pulsing a silicon-containing precursor with a purge process between pulsing the titanium-containing precursor and pulsing the silicon-containing precursor; and pulsing a first oxygen reactant precursor for reaction after pulsing the titanium-containing precursor separate from pulsing a second oxygen reactant precursor for reaction after pulsing the silicon-containing precursor; and incorporating an amount of oxygen in the film of titanium silicon oxide to set a specified characteristic for the film of titanium silicon oxide.
