摘要:
A method of rapidly forming a thin film of high quality through film formation by alternate feeding of raw gases. In particular, a method of forming a TiN thin film, comprising repeating operations including causing TiCl4 gas as a raw gas to be adsorbed on a substrate or TiCl4 molecules adsorbed on a substrate and feeding NH3 gas as a reactant gas in a treating chamber so as to effect reaction of TiCl4 and NH3 leading to formation of a TiN film, which method further comprises an operation of, prior to the adsorption of TiCl4 gas on the substrate, feeding reducing H2 gas in the treating chamber (30) so as to change TiCl4 to a state of enhanced likelihood of adsorption on the substrate (e.g., TiCl3).
摘要:
In a processing apparatus which performs a film deposition by alternately supplying a plurality of source gases, the source gases are prevented from reacting within an exhaust pipe so as to prevent the exhaust pipe from clogging due to a reaction by-product. A gas supply to a processing container is switched between a TiCl4 supply system and a NH3 supply system. Additionally, a gas exhaust from the processing container is switched between a TiCl4 exhaust system and a NH3 exhaust system. The gas exhaust is switched to the TiCl4 exhaust system when the gas supply is switched to the TiCl4 supply system, and the gas exhaust is switched to the NH3 exhaust system when the gas supply is switched to the NH3 supply system. The switching is performed by a stop valve provided to each of the supply system and the exhaust system.

A heater plate, which has a wafer W mounted thereon and which includes a heater in its interior, is placed on a cooling block including a coolant chamber in its interior. The cooling block includes a gas introduction pipe passing therethrough. The gas introduction pipe is connected to a space between the heater plate and the cooling block to make it possible to supply He gas as thermal conduction gas to the space. A gas suction pipe 34 is connected to the space to make it possible to suck He gas.

The ceiling surface (12b) of a chamber (12) is substantially entirely formed with a gas supply port (19). Further, the gas supply port (19) has shower head (20) fitted therein. The peripheral edge of the ceiling surface (12b) has connected thereto a second side wall (12d) forming an angle greater than 90 degrees with ceiling surface (12b). Further, the side surface of a susceptor (16) is formed such that it forms an angle greater than 90 degrees with a mounting surface for a wafer (W) and is substantially parallel with the second side wall (12d) of the chamber (12). Further, the susceptor (16) is disposed such that the distance (L2) between its side surface and the second side wall (12d) is greater than the distance (L1) between the shower head (20) and the wafer (W).

A target for processing (W) is placed on a placing member (21) that is in a chamber (12). The placing member (21) comprises a resistive layer (25). A power source (28) forms a magnetic field around an induction coil (27) by passing a current through the induction coil (27) that is provided on the out side of the chamber (12). The resistive layer (25) is heated by induction heating that occurs by the formed magnetic field, and heats the target for processing (W) that is placed on the placing member (21).
