摘要:
A film formation method for a semiconductor process performs a film formation process to form a silicon-containing insulating film doped with a metal on a target substrate, in a process field inside a process container configured to be selectively supplied with a silicon source gas and a metal source gas. The method includes forming a first insulating thin layer by use of a chemical reaction of the silicon source gas, while maintaining a shut-off state of supply of the metal source gas; then, forming a first metal thin layer by use of a chemical reaction of the metal source gas, while maintaining a shut-off state of supply of the silicon source gas; and then, forming a second insulating thin layer by use of the chemical reaction of the silicon source gas, while maintaining a shut-off state of supply of the metal source gas.

An insulating film is formed on a target substrate by CVD, in a process field to be selectively supplied with a first process gas containing a silane family gas, a second process gas containing a nitriding gas, and a third process gas containing a carbon hydride gas. This method includes repeatedly performing supply of the first process gas to the process field, supply of the second process gas to the process field, and supply of the third process gas to the process field. The supply of the third process gas includes an excitation period of supplying the third process gas to the process field while exciting the third process gas by an exciting mechanism.

There is provided a micro pattern forming method including forming a thin film on a substrate; forming a film serving as a mask when processing the thin film; processing the film serving as a mask into a pattern including lines having a preset pitch; trimming the pattern including the lines; and forming an oxide film on the pattern including the lines and on the thin film by alternately supplying a source gas and an activated oxygen species. Here, the process of trimming the pattern and the process of forming an oxide film are consecutively performed in a film forming apparatus configured to form the oxide film.
摘要:
A method for using a film formation apparatus performs a first film formation process, while supplying a first film formation gas into a process field inside a process container, thereby forming a first thin film on a first target substrate inside the process field. After unloading the first target substrate from the process container, the method performs a cleaning process of an interior of the process container, while supplying a cleaning gas into the process field, and generating plasma of the cleaning gas by an exciting mechanism. Then, the method performs a second film formation process, while supplying a second film formation gas into the process field, thereby forming a second thin film on a target substrate inside the process field. The second film formation process is a plasma film formation process that generates plasma of the second film formation gas by the exciting mechanism.

An insulating film is formed on a target substrate by CVD, in a process field to be selectively supplied with a first process gas containing a silane family gas, a second process gas containing a nitriding gas or oxynitriding gas, a third process gas containing a boron-containing gas, and a fourth process gas containing a carbon hydride gas. A first step performs supply of the first process gas and a preceding gas, which is one of the third and fourth process gases, while stopping supply of the second process gas and a succeeding gas, which is the other of the third and fourth process gases. A second step performs supply of the succeeding gas, while stopping supply of the second process gas and the preceding gas. A third step performs supply of the second process gas while stopping supply of the first process gas.

摘要:
A film formation method is used for forming a silicon nitride film on a target substrate by repeating a plasma cycle and a non-plasma cycle a plurality of times, in a process field configured to be selectively supplied with a first process gas containing a silane family gas and a second process gas containing a nitriding gas and communicating with an exciting mechanism for exciting the second process gas to be supplied. The method includes obtaining a relation formula or relation table that represents relationship of a cycle mixture manner of the plasma cycle and the non-plasma cycle relative to a film quality factor of the silicon nitride film; determining a specific manner of the cycle mixture manner based on a target value of the film quality factor with reference to the relation formula or relation table; and arranging the film formation process in accordance with the specific manner.

A film formation method for a semiconductor process is arranged to form a thin film on a target substrate by CVD, while supplying a first process gas for film formation and a second process gas for reacting with the first process gas to a process field accommodating the target substrate. The method alternately includes first to fourth steps. The first step performs supply of the first and second process gases to the process field. The second step stops supply of the first and second process gases to the process field. The third step performs supply of the second process gas to the process field while stopping supply of the first process gas to the process field. The fourth step stops supply of the first and second process gases to the process field.
