    摘要: The vacuum degree in a reactor is set to as low as 0.1 Torr. In this state, a butyl acetate solution in which Pb(DPM)2 is dissolved at a concentration of 0.1 mol is transported from a Pb source generator to an evaporator, while the flow rate of the butyl acetate solution is controlled to a predetermined flow rate by a massflow controller, to evaporate the Pb(DPM)2 dissolved together with the butyl acetate by the evaporator. Helium gas is added to these at a flow rate of 250 sccm, and the mixed gas is transported to a shower head. With this operation, source gases are supplied to a wafer in the reactor, while the partial pressure of each source gas is set low.

    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.

    摘要: A metal interconnection is prepared by forming an underlying metal film of high melting point metal such as Ti and/or high melting point metal compound such as TiN layers above a semiconductor substrate, plasma etching the surface of the underlying metal film in a gas atmosphere containing chloride, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al, Cu, Au and Ag on the underlying metal film. Alternatively, a metal interconnection is prepared by forming an insulating film above a semiconductor substrate, forming connection holes in the insulating film, forming an underlying metal film such as TiN on the insulating film and the bottom and side wall of the connection holes by a CVD process under controlled conditions, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al on the underlying metal film. The TiN film has (111) preferential orientation and the aluminum film has (111) preferential orientation, smooth surface and effective coverage. The thus fabricated metal interconnection has improved reliability including electromigration immunity when used in semiconductor devices and finding advantageous use in miniaturized semiconductor devices.

    摘要: An antifuse element suitable for use in FPGA. When a device is miniaturized to reduce the write voltage in an antifuse element and as the film thickness of the antifuse dielectric film is being reduced, the dielectric breakdown voltage is greatly variable due to the irregularity of the underlying metal. If the dielectric film is formed by a metal oxide having a relatively high specific permitivity without changing its parasitic capacity as compared to the prior art, the film thickness of the dielectric film can be increased in comparison with oxide and nitride films formed according to the prior art. The irregularity of the underlying metal can be reduced by coating it with a metal nitride or TiB film or TiC film. To equalize the dielectric breakdown voltage, another insulation film having a film thickness such that the direct tunnel conduction is dominant is formed below the metal oxide. To reduce the irregularity of the metal surface and to reduce the resistance after dielectric breakdown, an amorphous silicon layer is deposited before the metal oxide is deposited thereover to form a laminated film.

    摘要: A semiconductor device having a large-capacitance capacitor in which an insulator film is formed underneath a film made of a material having a high dielectric constant, such as tantalum oxide, in such a manner that a portion of the insulator film underneath a defect region which is undesirably thin is thicker than other portions of the insulator film, thereby preventing occurrence of a failure in terms of dielectric strength and deterioration of the lifetime of the capacitor which would otherwise be caused by the existence of the defect region. Also disclosed is a process for producing such semiconductor device. Thus, it is possible to effectively prevent occurrence of problems which would otherwise be caused when a material having a high dielectric constant, such as tantalum oxide, is employed as a dielectric film of a capacitor, so that the reliability of a semiconductor having a large-capacitance capacitor is greatly improved.
