The method of forming a TiN thin film using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method includes thermally decomposing TiCl4; introducing a pyrolyzed product of the TiCl4 into the chamber; supplying a first purge gas into the chamber; supplying a reactant gas into the chamber, thereby forming a TiN thin film; and supplying a second purge gas into the chamber. The apparatus of forming a TiN thin film includes a gas conduit having an entrance line into which a source gas, TiCl4 is introduced; a heater installed around the gas conduit and thermally decomposing the introduced source gas, TiCl4, in advance to make a secondary source gas; and a chamber being connected to the gas conduit and having a reaction room in which the TiN thin film is formed by the reaction of the secondary source gas and NH3 as a reactant gas. Therefore, a TiN thin film growth rate can be improved.

A method of processing a wafer in a chamber including a wafer stage and a showerhead is disclosed. The method includes forming a first protection layer on the wafer stage, heating the wafer stage to a first temperature, heating the showerhead at a second temperature lower than the first temperature, forming a second protection layer on inner surfaces of the process chamber including at least the wafer stage and showerhead, loading a wafer onto the wafer stage, forming a material layer on the wafer, and then unloading the wafer from the wafer stage, and removing by-products generated on the inner surfaces of the process chamber during formation of the material layer while maintaining the first temperature of the wafer stage and the second temperature of the showerhead.
摘要:
A semiconductor device may include a gate insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, a polysilicon layer doped with impurities on the gate insulating layer, an interface reaction preventing layer on the polysilicon layer, a barrier layer on the interface reaction preventing layer, and a conductive metal layer on the barrier layer. The interface reaction preventing layer may reduce or prevent the occurrence of a chemical interfacial reaction with the barrier layer, and the barrier layer may reduce or prevent the diffusion of impurities doped to the polysilicon layer. The interface reaction preventing layer may include a metal-rich metal silicide having a metal mole fraction greater than a silicon mole fraction, so that the interface reaction preventing layer may reduce or prevent the dissociation of the barrier layer at higher temperatures. Thus, a barrier characteristic of a poly-metal gate electrode may be improved and surface agglomerations may be reduced or prevented.

A source gas-supplying unit may include a chamber for receiving a liquid source. A first pipe may extend into the chamber to dip into the liquid source. The first pipe may provide a carrier gas to bubble through the liquid source to generate a vapor source. A second pipe may be connected to the chamber. The vapor source and the carrier gas may be supplied by the second pipe to a process chamber in which a semiconductor-manufacturing process may be carried out. A blocking structure may be provided in the sealed chamber. The blocking structure may block the liquid source that may be splashed toward the second pipe due to the bubbling.
摘要:
Provided are a lift pin capable of preventing aluminum from depositing on the lift pin when depositing a metallic layer on a wafer through chemical vapor deposition. a system using the lift pin, and a method of manufacturing the same. The lift pin is made of stainless steel and is oxidized at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, such that the lift pin is not deposited with aluminum during a CVD process. Since the CVD vacuum processing chamber utilizes the heater and the lift pin which are made of oxidized SUS material, aluminum does not deposit on the heater and the lift. Therefore, when the lift pin is lowered, the lift pin is not lowered by its own weight, thereby preventing a wafer from being broken. Also, the lift pin is prevented from being ruptured by a robot moving in and out of an opening of the CVD vacuum processing chamber.
