pressure is reached the processing chamber is activated to start film formation in another embodiment as shown by path 530 in fig5 in conjunction with fig2 b reactant gases are first loaded into processing chamber 340 to a selected pressure then open close valves 312 and 324 are opened and inert flow gas is used to propel the saturated precursor vapor to the processing chamber until a target overall pressure is reached after which the processing chamber is activated to start film formation in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention precursor liquid taeto is heated between approximately 50 u00b0 c to approximately 220 u00b0 c achieving saturated vapor pressures of between approximately 0 001 torr u02dc 0 13 pa to approximately 100 torr u02dc 13 kpa respectively the processing chamber is targeted to achieve an overall pressure ranging between approximately 0 001 torr u02dc 0 13 pa to approximately 760 torr u02dc 1 mpa the saturated precursor vapor has a mole percentage in the processing chamber ranging from approximately 0 1 to approximately 50 a layer of tantalum oxide ta 2 o 5 may be grown to thicknesses ranging between approximately 50 u00e5 to approximately 500 u00e5 in one example precursor liquid taeto is heated to 130 u00b0 c to achieve a saturated vapor pressure of 0 2 torr u02dc 26 pa fig3 the precursor vapor is delivered to the processing chamber to a pressure of 0 2 torr u02dc 26 pa followed by delivery of reactant gases to an overall target pressure of 1 torr u02dc 133 pa in an alternative example reactant gases are delivered to the processing chamber to a pressure of.
