Abstract:
Film formation apparatus includes: rotation mechanism to repeat alternately placing the substrate in first region and second region; raw material gas supply unit to supply the first region with gaseous raw material; processing space formation member to move up and down to form processing space isolated from the first region; atmosphere gas supply unit to supply atmosphere gas for forming ozone atmosphere where chain decomposition reaction is generated; energy supply unit to forcibly decompose the ozone by supplying energy to the ozone atmosphere and to obtain the oxide by oxidizing the raw material adsorbed to surface of the substrate; buffer region connected to the processing space and being supplied with inert gas; and partition unit to partition the buffer region off from the processing space when the atmosphere gas is supplied to the processing space and to have the buffer region communicate with the processing space when ozone is decomposed.
Abstract:
A metal oxide film forming method includes: repeating a cycle a first predetermined number of times, the cycle including supplying a gas containing an organic metal precursor into a processing chamber where an object to be processed is accommodated, and supplying oxygen gas into the processing chamber after the gas containing the organic metal precursor is supplied into the processing chamber; and supplying ozone gas into the processing chamber, wherein repeating the cycle and supplying the ozone gas are repeated a second predetermined number of times, so that a metal oxide film is formed on a surface of the object to be processed.
