Patent attributes
A method of forming a tungsten-containing layer over a substrate includes a) positioning a substrate on a substrate support in a process volume of a process chamber; b) providing a precursor gas to the process volume of the process chamber for a first duration; and c) providing a tungsten-containing gas to the process volume of the process chamber by opening a pulsing valve on a tungsten-containing gas delivery line for a second duration occurring after the first duration to form a tungsten-containing layer on the substrate. The tungsten-containing gas delivery line includes a first section connected to an inlet of the pulsing valve and a second section connected to an outlet of the pulsing valve, the first section connects the inlet of the pulsing valve to a reservoir of tungsten-containing gas, the second section connects the outlet of the pulsing valve to an inlet of the process chamber.
