Abstract:
Systems and methods for forming films on the surface of a substrate are described. The systems possess aerosol generators which form droplets from a liquid solution made from a solvent and a deposition precursor. A carrier gas may be flowed through the liquid solution and push the droplets toward a substrate placed in a substrate processing region. The droplets pass into the substrate processing region and chemically react with the substrate to form films. The temperature of the substrate may be maintained below the boiling temperature of the solvent during film formation. The solvent imparts a flowability to the forming film and enable the depositing film to flow along the surface of a patterned substrate during formation prior to solidifying. The flowable film results in bottom-up gapfill inside narrow high-aspect ratio gaps in the patterned substrate.

Claim (Index 1):
A substrate processing chamber comprising:\n a carrier gas supply; an aerosol generator configured to receive a carrier gas from the carrier gas supply, wherein the aerosol generator comprises a piezoelectric transducer configured to produce aerosol droplets from a liquid solution, wherein the liquid solution is formed from a solvent and a precursor dissolved in the solvent; a substrate processing region; a precursor conduit configured to receive the aerosol droplets and pass the aerosol droplets into the substrate processing region; and a substrate pedestal disposed within the substrate processing region within the substrate processing chamber, wherein the substrate pedestal is configured to support a substrate during formation of a film on the substrate.
