Abstract

See full text

A method for depositing material on a substrate is described. The method comprises maintaining a reduced-pressure environment around a substrate holder for holding a substrate having a surface, and holding the substrate securely within the reduced-pressure environment. Additionally, the method comprises forming a gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) from a pressurized gas comprising a compound having silicon (Si) and carbon (C), accelerating the GCIB to the reduced-pressure environment, and irradiating the accelerated GCIB onto at least a portion of the surface of the substrate to form a thin film containing silicon and carbon, wherein the carbon content is greater than or equal to about 10%. Further the compound may possess a Si—C bond.
