    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.

    摘要: A method for using a film formation apparatus includes performing film formation of a product film selected from the group consisting of a silicon nitride film and a silicon oxynitride film on a target substrate within a reaction chamber of the film formation apparatus; and unloading the target substrate from the reaction chamber. Thereafter, the method includes first heating an inner surface of the reaction chamber at a post process temperature while supplying a post process gas for nitridation into the reaction chamber, thereby performing nitridation of a by-product film deposited on the inner surface of the reaction chamber; then rapidly cooling the inner surface of the reaction chamber, thereby cracking the by-product film by a thermal stress; and then forcibly exhausting gas from inside the reaction chamber to carry the by-product film, thus peeled off from the inner surface.

    摘要: A silicon-containing insulating film is formed on a target substrate by CVD, in a process field to be selectively supplied with a first process gas including di-iso-propylaminosilane gas and a second process gas including an oxidizing gas or nitriding gas. The film is formed by performing a plurality of times a cycle alternately including first and second steps. The first step performs supply of the first process gas, thereby forming an adsorption layer containing silicon on a surface of the target substrate. The second performs supply of the second process gas, thereby oxidizing or nitriding the adsorption layer on the surface of the target substrate. The second step includes an excitation period of supplying the second process gas to the process field while exciting the second process gas by an exciting mechanism.

    摘要: In an oxidation method for a semiconductor process, target substrates are placed at intervals in a vertical direction within a process field of a process container. An oxidizing gas and a deoxidizing gas are supplied to the process field from one side of the process field while gas is exhausted from the other side. One or both of the oxidizing gas and the deoxidizing gas are activated. The oxidizing gas and the deoxidizing gas are caused to react with each other, thereby generating oxygen radicals and hydroxyl group radicals within the process field. An oxidation process is performed on the surfaces of the target substrate by use of the oxygen radicals and the hydroxyl group radicals.

    摘要: After silicon nitride films have been formed on wafers by a film forming process in a reaction vessel, the reaction vessel is processed by a purging process specified by a purging recipe and compatible with the film forming process to suppress production of gases and particles by removing surface parts of films deposited on the inside surface of the reaction vessel and causative of production of gases and particles.A wafer boat 25 holding a plurality of wafers W is loaded into a reaction vessel 2, and the wafers W are processed by a film forming process specified by a film forming recipe 1 specifying, for example, Si2Cl2 gas and NH3 gas as film forming gases. Subsequently, a purging recipe 1 specifying a purging process compatible to the film forming process is selected automatically, and the reaction vessel 2 is processed by the purging process specified by the purging recipe 1. A purging recipe is selected automatically from a plurality of purging recipes specifying purging processes respectively compatible with film forming processes. Unnecessary extension of purging time is suppressed and the reaction vessel 2 can be processed by an appropriate purging process compatible with the film forming process.
