摘要:
A film deposition apparatus (2) forms a PZT film at a high deposition rate under a low temperature by using a single showerhead (50) throughout the deposition process. Process gases including a raw material gas and an oxidant gas are introduced into a process chamber (4) in which a wafer (W) is accommodated. The process chamber (4) is maintained at a predetermined vacuum during the film depositing process. A gas injection surface (57) of the shower head (50) from which the process gases are injected is divided into an inner zone (84) covering a center portion of the wafer (W) and an outer zone (86) surrounding the inner zone (84). The raw material gas is separately injected from the inner zone (84) and the outer zone (86), and the oxidant gas is separately injected from the inner zone (84) and the-outer zone (86).

In a metal oxide film formation method, a source gas mixture of organic compound gases containing at least three metals, and an oxidation gas are individually prepared. While the substrate is heated, the oxidation gas is supplied to a substrate set in a closed vessel at a predetermined pressure, and then the gas mixture is supplied. A metal oxide film is formed on the substrate. A metal oxide film formation apparatus is also disclosed.

A single-substrate-processing CVD apparatus is used for forming a BST thin film on a semiconductor wafer while supplying a first process gas containing a mixture of Ba(thd).sub.2 and Sr(thd).sub.2, and a second process gas containing Ti(O-iPr)(thd).sub.2 or Ti(thd).sub.2. Precursors of Ba and Sr have lower activation energies and higher resistivities than precursors of Ti. The first and second process gases are supplied from a shower head which has a group of first spouting holes for spouting the first process gas and a group of second spouting holes for spouting the second process gas. The group of the second spouting holes are designed to have diameters gradually decreasing in radial directions outward from the center of a shower region, such that the second process gas is supplied at a spouting rate gradually decreasing in radial directions outward from the center.

A semiconductor device with a contact structure includes a silicon substrate, a diffusion region formed in a surface of the silicon substrate, a silicide film of a high melting point metal deposited on the diffusion region, an insulating film formed on the silicon substrate, a contact hole formed in the insulating film such that the silicide film is exposed at a bottom of the contact hole, an anti-diffusion film formed on at least the exposed surface of the silicide film at the bottom of the contact film, a plug formed in the contact hole by selective Al--CVD, and a metal wiring formed on the insulating film. The metal wiring is electrically connected to the diffusion region by the plug, the anti-diffusion film and the silicide film. The anti-diffusion film is formed by nitriding the surface of the silicide film such that only the grain boundaries of the grains of the silicide film are nitrided.
摘要:
An antifuse element for a semiconductor device, comprising a bottom electrode made from a conductive material containing a refractory metal and a top electrode made from a conductive material containing a fusible metal. The fusible metal is Al, Al alloy, Cu or Ag. The Al alloy contains at least Si, Cu, Sc, Pd, Ti, Ta or Nb. The refractory metal is Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo or W. Silicides are most preferable as the refractory metal. The semiconductor device is programmed by making the top electrode negative or positive and by applying a breakdown voltage between the bottom and top electrodes so as to break down an antifuse material layer, thereby obtaining a filament. The filament is made from the fusible metal from the top electrode and the refractory metal from the bottom electrode. Thus, the filament has a low resistance, and a good EM resistance.

摘要:
An insulating film consisting of first and second tantalum oxide layers is formed on a semiconductor wafer. First, an amorphous first layer is formed by CVD, and a reforming process for removing organic impurities contained in the first layer is carried out. Then, an amorphous second layer is formed by CVD on the first layer. Then, a reforming process for removing organic impurities contained in the second layer is carried out by supplying a process gas containing ozone into a process chamber while heating the wafer to a temperature lower than a crystallizing temperature over a certain period. Further, within the same process chamber, the wafer is successively heated to a second temperature higher than the crystallizing temperature, followed by cooling the wafer to a temperature lower than the crystallizing temperature so as to crystallize the first and second layers simultaneously.
