The rule of these gas pulses sequential aforementioned is as follows:
Any one three (2,2,6, the acid of 6-tetramethyl--3,5-heptadione) before or after bismuth (III) gas pulses or the pulse of oxygen precursor gas or trimethyl-gallium gas pulses, all there is an inert purge gas pulses, namely, such as: BN ..., or GN ..., or ON ... or ... NBN ... or ... NGN ..., or ... NON ..., suspension points " ... " represents other possible collating sequences herein; And when meeting above-mentioned condition,
Any one three (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) the secondary adjacent place of bismuth (III) gas pulses or trimethyl-gallium gas pulses, all also there is the pulse of an oxygen precursor gas, that is, such as: ... NONBN ... or ... NONGN ... or ... NBNON ..., or ... NGNON ..., suspension points " ... " represents other possible collating sequences herein; And when meeting above-mentioned condition,
Three (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) bismuth (III) gas pulses, the pulse of oxygen precursor gas, trimethyl-gallium gas pulses, inert purge gas pulses can arrange with any order, can be multiple three (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) bismuth (III) gas pulses or the pulse of oxygen precursor gas or trimethyl-gallium gas pulses and inert purge gas pulses continuous distribution successively, then one or more groups all the other precursor gas pulses adjacent, in other words, one or morely pass into trimethyl-gallium gas pulses, one or morely pass into three (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) bismuth (III) pulse, one or morely pass into the pulse of oxygen precursor gas and can arrange with any order, for example, the pulse of bismuth precursor gas, the pulse of oxygen precursor gas, the pulse of gallium precursor gas, the sequence of inert purge gas pulses can be ...

" represents other possible collating sequences herein,
These gas pulses sequences are controlled the open and close of corresponding self-acting valve to realize by device control unit, and are performed the growth cycle circulation of particular sequence by program.
In a growth cycle, the quantity of each gas pulses is the multiple of 4 and is not less than 8, such as: 4,8,12,16 ... etc.; Each gas pulses is passed in vacuum reaction chamber successively by pipeline, and pallet and substrate are exposed in the atmosphere of these gas pulses formation successively; And,
In a growth cycle, the quantity sum of the pulse of bismuth precursor gas and the pulse of gallium precursor gas equals the quantity of oxygen presoma pulse, and the quantity sum of the pulse of bismuth precursor gas, the pulse of gallium precursor gas and the pulse of oxygen precursor gas equals the quantity of inert purge gas pulses;
Consider the space steric effect of organic precursor molecule, the quantity of bismuth precursor gas pulse might not be equal with the quantity of gallium precursor gas pulse, but distribute according to following principle:
In a growth cycle, the bismuth that deposited on substrates obtains, the stoichiometric ratio of gallium are close to 1:1, allow the positive error of less than 10%, namely the stoichiometric ratio of bismuth, gallium is in the scope of 1:1 ~ 1:1.1, and this is the adequate compensation of making owing to needing consideration bismuth element in step K rapid thermal annealing easily to volatilize;
When meeting above-mentioned requirements, the pulse of bismuth precursor gas, the pulse of gallium precursor gas the time are as much as possible uniformly distributed arrangement in a growth cycle.
In membrane-film preparation process, the temperature of choose reasonable vacuum reaction chamber, three (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) bismuth (III), trimethyl-gallium, the flow velocity of rare gas element, pressure, make substrate material be exposed to three (2 at every turn, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) bismuth (III), trimethyl-gallium, time in oxygen presoma atmosphere, substrate material surface all can be made intactly to adsorb a unimolecular layer three (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl--3, the acid of 5-heptadione) bismuth (III) or trimethyl-gallium, its absorption mechanism is Langmuir (Langmuir) absorption, when substrate is exposed in the atmosphere of two kinds of presomas successively, complete a thin film deposition, such as, substrate, through BNON pulse sequence, deposits one deck Bi

If we define precursor molecule in the absorption fraction of coverage on solid substrate surface is θ, adsorbing filament technique k
a(r
a=k
ap (1-θ)) and desorption rate constants k
d(r
d=k
dθ)), so adsorb fraction of coverage and can be expressed as d θ/dt over time, have:
After absorption reaches capacity, fraction of coverage reaches steady state value, d θ/dt=0, and so we just can obtain equation:
Namely fraction of coverage is the function of reactant gas dividing potential drop.The Langmuir equation that precursor molecule that Here it is is adsorbed at chemistry of solid surfaces.
In order to realize from restricted reaction, adsorption is necessarily required to be irreversible, i.e. k
d=0, at this moment K will trend towards infinity, have:
This means that absorption fraction of coverage just can trend towards 100% gradually.Time required so is in theory tending towards infinite, and in reality, when we often think that the increase of fraction of coverage becomes very slow, it is exactly saturated.
In the present invention, 2 ~ 8s is got in the pulse of bismuth precursor gas, and 0.1 ~ 2s is got in the pulse of gallium precursor gas, and 0.1 ~ 6s is got in the pulse of oxygen precursor gas, substantially think and each precursor molecule can enough complete once complete surface adsorption in the chemisorption of substrate surface, fraction of coverage is close to 100%.
In any precursor gas pulse, the precursor molecule of a molecular layer is formed except being adsorbed on substrate surface, remaining unnecessary precursor molecule will take away by inert purge gas pulses following closely, discharged outside vacuum reaction chamber by vacuum pump, that is, after substrate surface occurs each time " half-reaction ", substrate surface can form at most certain atoms of precursor of one deck, in fact, typically, due to the steric effect of precursor molecule, or claim the bridging effect of organic group, shade influence, once can not form certain atoms of precursor of one deck at substrate surface after " half-reaction ", but need repeatedly " half-reaction " certain atoms of precursor of one deck can be formed at substrate surface.
Just based on above-mentioned principle, preparation BiGaO of the present invention
3the method of thin-film material, really can realize the controllable precise of thickness during film growth.This is that other any film growth techniques cannot match in excellence or beauty.
In membrane-film preparation process, underlayer temperature is positioned at aforesaid suitable temperature window, be exposed to bismuth precursor gas atmosphere at substrate at every turn, gallium precursor gas atmosphere, during oxygen precursor gas atmosphere, the Chemisorption of substrate surface is " half-reaction " (" half-reaction "), instead of once complete Chemisorption, substrate is only had to be exposed to bismuth precursor gas atmosphere and oxygen precursor gas atmosphere for twice respectively, or gallium precursor gas atmosphere and oxygen precursor gas atmosphere, just complete once complete Chemisorption, obtain the Bi of an atomic shell respectively

Then, substrate again when steam atmosphere its chemical absorption of surface reaction be:
※Bi–tmhd+H
2O(g)→※Bi–OH+Htmhd(5)
Here, ※ represents substrate surface adsorption potential, and the alphabetical g in bracket represents gaseous state.So just complete once complete Chemisorption at substrate surface, obtain the Bi of an atomic shell
