摘要:
A deposition method for forming a thin film on a processed substrate by supplying a first gas including a metal, nitrogen, and carbon and a second gas reducing the first gas into a process vessel where a substrate holding table for holding the processed substrate is provided inside thereof, the deposition method includes a first step supplying the first process gas into the process vessel, and a second step supplying the second process gas so that the second process gas is-plasma-excited by a plasma-exciting part provided in the process vessel. A content of at least one of the metal, nitrogen, and carbon in the thin film is controlled by changing a radio frequency power applied to the plasma-exciting part.

摘要:
A trap body is removably attached in the housing inserted in that portion of the exhaust passage which is situated on the upstream side of a vacuum pump, and has cooling fins for cooling the tramp materials in the exhaust gas brought into contact with the cooling means, thereby liquefying the tramp materials. Therefore, the tramp materials, such as unaffected process gases, products of reaction, etc., contained in the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage, are cooled and liquefied when they are touched by the trap body cooled by the cooling unit, and adhere to the surface of the trap body. Thus, the tramp materials in the exhaust gas can be removed lest they damage the vacuum pump on the downstream side or close up the exhaust passage.

A method of forming a Cu wiring in a trench or hole formed in a substrate is provided. The method includes forming a barrier film on the surface of the trench or hole, forming a Ru film on the barrier film, and embedding Cu in the trench or hole by forming a Cu film on the Ru film using PVD while annealing the substrate such that migration of copper into the trench or hole occurs.

A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes: modifying a surface of a burying recess, of which surface is hydrophobic and which is formed in a dielectric film, to a hydrophilic state by supplying a plasma containing H ions and H radicals or a plasma containing NHx (x being 1, 2 or 3) ions and NHx radicals to the dielectric film formed on a substrate and containing silicon, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, a bottom portion of the burying recess being exposed with a lower conductive layer; and directly forming an adhesion film formed of a Ru film on the hydrophilic surface of the recess. The method further includes burying copper forming a conductive path in the recess.

A film forming method includes depositing a metal thin film on a target substrate by generating an inductively coupled plasma in a processing chamber while introducing a plasma generating gas in the processing chamber with the substrate disposed on a placing table, by supplying DC power to a metal target from a DC power source, and by applying high-frequency bias to the placing table. A resputtering method includes resputtering the deposited metal thin film by stopping the generating of the inductively coupled plasma, by stopping the power supply from the DC power source, and by applying the high-frequency bias to the placing table while introducing the plasma generating gas in the processing chamber to form a capacitively coupled plasma in the processing chamber and by attracting ions of the plasma generating gas to the target substrate where the metal thin film is deposited.

In a CVD-Ru film forming method, an Ru-film is formed on a substrate by means of CVD using a ruthenium carbonyl as a film-forming material before forming a Cu film. Then the substrate on which the aforementioned Ru film is formed is annealed in a hydrogen containing atmosphere.

A plurality of gases are prevented from being mixed with each other in a gas supply path when forming a film on a substrate to be processed so as to prevent generation of particles to enable a stable and clean film formation. A film containing metal is formed on a substrate to be processed by supplying a first process gas containing the metal and a second process gas for reducing the first process gas to a process chamber. The first process gas is supplied from a first gas supply passage to the process chamber. The second process gas is supplied from a second gas supply passage to the process chamber and the second process gas is plasma-excited in the process chamber. A first reverse flow preventing gas consisting of H2 or He is supplied to the process chamber from the first gas supply passage when supplying the second process gas.
