摘要:
Impurity concentration doped in PSG deposited on semiconductor substrates employing chemical vapor deposition process depends on the flow rate of reactive gases in the neighborhood of the first one of the plural semiconductor substrates processed with the same equipment in one batch at the same time. Regulation of the flow rate of the reactive gases in the neighborhood of the first one of the plural semiconductor substrates processed with the same equipment in one batch at the same time is effective to make the impurity concentration doped in PSG uniform for all the semiconductor substrates processed in one batch employing the presently available sealed tube type equipment for vacuum vapor deposition process. The flow rate regulation is possible by monitoring readings of a manometer which is arranged around the inlets thereof and which was calibrated by the flow rate of a nonreactive gas such as nitrogen gas.

The present invention relates to a method of forming a low dielectric constant insulating film. Its constitution has the steps of: (a) forming an insulating film containing Si—CH3 bond in the skeleton of Si—O—Si on a substrate; (b) irradiating ultraviolet ray to the insulating film in reduced-pressure atmosphere to break CH3 groups from Si—CH3 bond in the insulating film; and (c) ejecting the broken CH3 groups from the insulating film.
摘要:
A method of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of a phosphosilicate glass film on a substrate from a reaction gas mixture including SiH.sub.4, N.sub.2 O and PH.sub.3 is disclosed. This deposition is effected under the conditions such that a mol ratio of N.sub.2 O to SiH.sub.4 (N.sub.2 O/SiH.sub.4) in the reaction gas mixture is 50 or more and that a mol ratio of PH.sub.3 to SiH.sub.4 (PH.sub.3 /SiH.sub.4) in the reaction gas mixture is 0.08 or less. In the phosphosilicate glass film thus deposited, no cracking occurs due to a high temperature heat-treatment and due to the stress, caused by cooling the deposited films to an ordinarily ambient temperature.

A method of producing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: forming a window or contact hole in an insulating layer to expose a portion of a semiconductor substrate or a lower conductor line; forming semiconductor material (silicon) in the window; substituting the material with a metal (tungsten) by reaction of the semiconductor material with a metal compound (WF.sub.6 gas); and forming a conductor line over the metal within the window.

摘要:
A method of selectively depositing tungsten upon a silicon semiconductor substrate. A silicon substrate is coated with a masking film of PSG or SiO.sub.2 that is patterned to provide an opening for forming an electrode or wiring. On a portion of the substrate in the opening, a layer of tungsten having a thickness of approximately 2000 .ANG. is deposited by a CVD method from an atomosphere containing a gaseous mixture of WF.sub.6 and H.sub.2 . During this processing, tungsten nucleuses deposit on the surface of the masking film as well. Before such nucleuses form a film, the deposition processing is discontinued and H.sub.2 gas is fed into the CVD apparatus to produce HF, which etches the surface of the masking film, and thus tungsten nucleuses are removed. The deposition and removal steps are repeated several times until the height of the deposited tungsten and the thickness of the masking film are essentially equal to present a flat surface. Aluminum film is deposited on the flat surface and patterned by lithography. The flat aluminum deposition allows fabrication of accurate and reliable wirings and facilitates production of VLSI of sub-micron order.
摘要:
A plasma CVD apparatus for forming a deposited film on a base body by introducing a gas of a compound into a chamber and converting the gas into plasma by applying a high frequency electric power, includes a gas feeding pipe leading from the exterior of the chamber into the interior of the chamber, and a heating device. The heating device heats at least a part of the gas feeding pipe inside the chamber, thereby preventing the gas from condensing or solidifying. With this apparatus, plasma CVD can stably be carried out using gases of various compounds which are liquid or solid at room temperature.
摘要:
A semiconductor device having a deposited phosphosilicate glass film, containing an insubstantial amount of hydrogen and a low phosphorus concentration, is manufactured at a high mass productivity. This semiconductor device is manufactured by first placing plural substrates for semiconductor devices to be treated in a reaction tube so that the main surfaces of the substrates are substantially vertically aligned with respect to one another and are substantially perpendicularly intersected by the central axis of the reaction tube, the reaction tube being provided with at least two gas feed pipes having plural small openings pierced along the longitudinal direction thereof. Second, a silicon compound gas is introduced through one of the gas feed pipes into the reaction tube and an oxidizing gas is introduced through the other of the gas feed pipes into the reaction tube, while the inside of the reaction tube is maintained a reduced low pressure, whereby phosphosilicate glass films are deposited on the main surfaces of the substrates.
