SiGe or SiC films are selectively grown on source/drain regions, followed by selectively growing silicon. A monocrystalline film having a high dislocation density or a polycrystalline film can be grown in growing the silicon film by making the C or Ge concentration higher than a predetermined level. The silicon layer on each of the source/drain regions is not monocrystalline or, even if monocrystalline, has a high density of dislocation. Therefore, the silicon film formed thereon is in the form of a monocrystalline silicon film having a high dislocation density or a polycrystalline silicon film. It is possible to suppress an impurity diffusion to reach a deep region caused by channeling of ions generated in the doping step by means of an ion implantation.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a trench on a surface thereof and an embedding member embedding the interior of the trench therewith. While the section of the trench when cut by a first plane perpendicular to the direction of the depth of the trench is defined as a first section and the section of the trench when cut by a second plane perpendicular to the direction of the depth of the trench and closer to the bottom of the trench than the first plane is defined as a second section, the area of the first section is smaller than that of the second section and a minimum radius of curvature of the first section is smaller than a minimum radius of curvature of the second section. As a result, it is possible to lessen the concentration of the electric field into the bottom of the trench.

Disclosed is an MOCVD method of forming a tantalum oxide film. First, water vapor used as an oxidizing agent is supplied into a process container to cause moisture to be adsorbed on a surface of each semiconductor wafer. Then, PET gas used as a raw material gas is supplied into the process container and is caused to react with the moisture on the wafer at a process temperature of 200° C., thereby forming an interface layer of tantalum oxide. Then, PET gas and oxygen gas are supplied into the process container at the same time, and are caused to react with each other at a process temperature of 410° C., thereby forming a main layer of tantalum oxide on the interface layer.

A semiconductor apparatus on which a MOS transistor having an elevated source and drain structure is formed is arranged to have a gate electrode which is formed on the surface of a silicon substrate through an insulating film. An elevated source film and an elevated drain film each having at least a surface portion constituted by a metal silicide film, being conductive and elevated over the surface of the silicon substrate are formed on a source region and a drain region on the surface of the silicon substrate. Thus, a MOS transistor having a structure in which the surfaces of the source region and the drain region are elevated over the surface of the silicon substrate is formed. A first gate-side-wall insulating film is formed on the side wall of the gate electrode of the MOS transistor and having a bottom surface formed apart from the surface of the silicon substrate. A second gate-side-wall insulating film is formed between the first gate-side-wall insulating film and the gate electrode and on the bottom surface of the first gate-side-wall insulating film. The portion formed on the bottom surface exists in an inner bottom surface portion of the bottom surface of the first gate-side-wall insulating film adjacent to the gate electrode. The elevated source film and the elevated drain film are free from any facet in portions made contact with the first gate-side-wall insulating film.

In fabricating a semiconductor device, when impurities are diffused from a silicon oxide layer containing the impurities to a semiconductor layer, a diffusion atmosphere is controlled so as to oxidize or reduce a specified impurity to thereby control the diffusion coefficient of the impurities in the silicon oxide layer. Thus, it is possible to form a diffusion layer having a desired impurity profile under a good control.

A liquid source container device is used for a liquid gas source for a semiconductor manufacturing device. This container device includes a main body for containing a source liquid, to which a gas supply line for transferring the source liquid, and a source liquid delivery line for delivering the liquid are connected. The gas supply line has first and second gas supply valves provided thereon, and the liquid delivery line has first and second liquid delivery valves also provided thereon. A section of the gas supply line which is located between the first and second gas supply valves and a section of the liquid delivery line which is located between the first and second delivery valves are connected with each other by means of a purge line which has a purge valve provided thereon. By operating the purge line, the purge valve, and the four valves, the efficiency of purge-drying procedures carried out before and after transferring the source liquid, is improved, and therefore the container device, as well as the semiconductor manufacturing device can be prevented from being contaminated.
