DLI vaporizers can handle both liquid and solid chemical precursors. Solid precursors need to be dissolved into an organic solvent. The technology is a particularly well suited method for low vapor pressure and thermally unstable liquid or solid ALD and CVD precursors. Exceptional Multi-Process Capability: Annealsys DLI-CVD machines support a wide variety of deposition processes CVD, ALD, MOCVD, pulse-pressure CVD, plus in-situ RTP and RTCVD, all within the same process chamber. Thermalized Chamber Walls: Annealsys DLI-CVD reactors are designed with thermally controlled walls that focus deposition solely onto substrates, avoiding unwanted deposition on chamber walls which simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Fine Precursor Flow Control: The DLI vaporizers enable accurate liquid flow control, fast on/off vapor switching, minimal dead volume and efficient precursor usage. This helps in achieving sharp interface control, accurate control of doping levels and reduced chemical consumption. Precursor container remains at room temperature: In the DLI-CVD systems the chemical precursors are stored into special and pressurizzed stainless steel tanks. The precursors remain at room tempeature until they are injected into the vaporizers for the process. This avoid decomposition of the chemicals into the precursor tanks. Design and Maintenance: These systems are engineered for low maintenance, with low operational costs, and high reliability, which makes them attractive for long-term use in both R&D and production. Kemstream Vaporizing technology: Annealsys DLI-CVD systems are equipped with Kemstream patented direct liquid injection vaporizers. The technology benefits are real non-contact type and flash vaporization process for low vapor pressure compounds and thermally unstable molecules. Applications Guidelines: These machines can perform different types of processes inside the same chamber: DLI-CVD, DLI-ALD, DLI pulse pressure CVD. The two-inch machine can in addition run infrared assisted ALD and CVD, RTP, RTCVD and MOCVD processes. - Simple and multi-metallic oxides Nitrides, metals, and alloys - 2D and 3D materials - III-V, wide band gap semiconductors Processes Acronyms: DLI: Direct Liquid Injection CVD: Chemical Vapor Deposition ALD: Atomic Layer Deposition MOCVD: Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition
