Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the invention relate to an apparatus and method of cyclical layer deposition utilizing three or more precursors. In one embodiment, the method includes providing at least one cycle of precursors to form a ternary material layer. Providing at least one cycle of precursors includes introducing a pulse of a first precursor, introducing a pulse of a second precursor, and introducing a pulse of a third precursor, wherein the pulses of two of the three precursors are introduced simultaneously or sequentially. In another embodiment, the method includes introducing a pulse of a first precursor, introducing a pulse of a second precursor, repeating the introduction of the first and the second precursors at least one time to form a binary material layer on the substrate surface, and introducing a pulse of a third precursor to form the ternary material layer.
