    摘要: When an object of treatment is subjected to, for example, a gas treatment in an airtight chamber, reaction products adhere to the inner wall surface of the chamber, an object holder therein, and the corner portions of the chamber. When a cleaning medium is injected into the chamber, according to the present invention, the reaction products are dissolved in the cleaning medium by hydrolysis. Thereafter, the cleaning medium is discharged from the chamber. Then, the chamber is heated and evacuated, so that water vapor is discharged to provide a predetermined degree of vacuum, whereupon the treatment can be started anew. Therefore, a wiping operation can be omitted. Moreover, the reaction products remaining at the corner portions of the chamber can be removed without forming a source of polluted particles, so that the necessity of overhauling can be obviated. Thus, fully automatic cleaning, so to speak, can be effected, and the chamber need not be open to the atmosphere, so that the throughput can be improved.

    摘要: A method of selectively forming (growing or depositing) a silicon-containing metal layer on an exposed surface of a semiconductor substrate or a conductor by using a metal halide gas and a silicon hydride gas at a ratio of a flow rate of the latter gas to that of the former gas (e.g., Si.sub.n H.sub.2n+2 /WF.sub.6) of 2 or less, and setting a growth temperature at 200.degree. C. or less. When a Si.sub.3 H.sub.8 gas and a WF.sub.6 gas, in particular, are used at a ratio of the flow rates (Si.sub.3 H.sub.8 /WF.sub.6) of 1.0 or less, and the deposition temperature is set at 100.degree. C. to room temperature, a silicon-containing tungsten layer is selectively deposited (formed).

    摘要: A semiconductor device production method that is used to uniformly and efficiently reduce metal oxides produced on metal (copper, for example) which forms electrodes or wirings on a semiconductor device. An object to be treated on which copper oxides are produced is put into a process chamber and is heated by a heater to a predetermined temperature. Then carboxylic acid stored in a storage tank is vaporized by a carburetor. The vaporized carboxylic acid, together with carrier gas, is introduced into the process chamber via a treating gas feed pipe to reduce the copper oxides produced on the object to be treated to metal copper. As a result, metal oxides can be reduced uniformly without making the surfaces of electrodes or wirings irregular. Moreover, in this case, carbon dioxide and water are both produced in a gaseous state. This prevents impurities from remaining on the surface of copper.

    摘要: A refractory metal nitride is deposited at a temperature of 600.degree. C. according to a chemical vapor phase deposition method by using a source gas containing a refractory metallic element and a reduction gas containing one of an alkyl amino compound, alkyl azide compound, hydrazine and a hydrazine alkyl compound for reducing the source gas. This refractory metal nitride is used as a barrier metal material for interconnection in a semiconductor device. When forming a refractory metal nitride as a barrier metal on a silicon layer or forming a contact metal between the barrier metal and the silicon layer, a natural oxide film on the surface of the silicon layer set in a pressure-reduced atmosphere is removed by reducing with hydrazine or a hydrazine alkyl compound.

    摘要: In the course of a production of a semiconductor device with a multilayer insulating layer, when a contact hole is opened in the multilayer insulating layer, an insulating layer activating a metal selective vapor-growth appears at the side wall of the contact hole. A thin metal (e.g., tungsten) layer is selectively deposited in the contact hole. In another case, another metal layer appears within the contact hole. An insulating film preventing a metal selective vapor-growth is deposited over the whole surface of the side wall of the contact hole, the metal layer and a top surface of the multilayer insulating layer, and is anisotropically etched to leave a portion of the film lying on the side wall only as a side wall insulating film. The contact hole is completely filled with another metal (tungsten) by a selective vapor-growth method, to flatten an exposed surface, and then a conductor (e.g., aluminum) line layer is formed on the metal layer in the contact hole and the multilayer insulating layer, to thereby complete the wiring structure of the semiconductor device.
