    摘要: In this etching method, since an etching gas is introduced before introduction of free radicals into a processing chamber, the etching gas has been adsorbed on the surface of substrates when the free radicals are introduced. Accordingly, the free radicals react with the etching gas adsorbed on the surface of the substrates, and the reaction proceeds uniformly on the surface of the substrate. As a result, nonuniform etching does not occur on the surface of the substrate. Moreover, since the reaction between the etching gas and the free radicals occurs on the surface of the substrate, an intermediate product produced according to the reaction between the etching gas and the free radicals reacts with an etching object promptly. Therefore, the intermediate product is not exhausted from the processing chamber 12 excessively, and hence the etching efficiency is high. As a result, according to this etching method, not only the in-plane distribution of the etching amount becomes more uniform, but also the etching rate is increased more than in the conventional etching method.

    摘要: A method of forming a titanium nitride layer by an atomic layer deposition process using a batch-type vertical reaction furnace is described wherein a first source gas including a titanium precursor is provided onto substrates loaded in a process chamber for a first time period; a first purge gas is introduced into the process chamber for a second time period shorter than the first time period; a second source gas including nitrogen is provided onto the substrates for a third time period substantially identical to the first time period; and, a second purge gas is introduced into the process chamber for a fourth time period substantially identical to the second time period. Titanium nitride layers having uniform thickness and good step coverage may thus be formed while realizing a greatly reduced manufacturing time.
