摘要:
For example, in a plasma processing system, C4F8 gas and C2H4 gas are introduced as film-forming gases at flow rates of 60 sccm and 30 sccm, respectively, under the conditions of a pressure of 0.2 Pa, a microwave power of 2.7 kW, a radiofrequency power of 1.5 kW, and a wafer temperature of 350° C. At the same time, a plasma gas is also introduced at a flow rate of 150 sccm to form CF film 13 having an F content of, for example, 22% on silicon substrate 11. This CF film 13 has a relative dielectric constant of 2.4.
摘要:
A method for use in a plasma treatment system that shortens the time required for the cleaning of a fluorine containing carbon film adheared in a vacuum vessel and protects the surface of a transfer table when the cleaning is carried out. After a CF film is deposited by, e.g., a plasma treatment system, the cleaning of the CF film adhered in a vacuum vessel 2 is carried out. In the cleaning, a plasma of O2 gas is produced, and the C—C and C—F bonds on the surface of the CF film are physically and chemically cut by the active species of O produced by the plasma. The O2 gas penetrates into the CF film at places where the C—C and C—F bonds have been cut, to react with C of the CF film to form CO2 which scatters. On the other hand, F scatters as F2. Thus, the CF film is removed.

Microwave is introduced into a plasma chamber of a plasma processing apparatus and magnetic field is applied thereto to allow plasma generation gas to be placed in plasma state by the electron cyclotron resonance. This plasma is introduced into a film forming chamber of the plasma processing apparatus to allow film forming gas including compound gas of carbon and fluorine or compound gas of carbon, fluorine and hydrogen, and hydro carbon gas to be placed in plasma state. In addition, an insulating film consisting of fluorine added carbon film is formed by the film forming gas placed in plasma state.

It is an object to enhance the degree of freedom for the shape of an obtained magnetic field to enhance the inplane uniformity of thickness of first and second films when the first and second films are continuously formed on a substrate to be treated. A main electromagnetic coil 5 is provided outside of a plasma chamber 21 so as to be movable vertically by a lifting shaft 52. When plasma is produced in a vacuum vessel 2 by the electron cyclotron resonance between a microwave and a magnetic field to continuously deposit a film of a two-layer structure, which comprises an SiOF film and an SiO2 film, on a wafer W with the produced plasma, a process for forming the SiOF film is carried out while the main electromagnetic coil 5 is arranged so that the lower surface of the coil 5 is positioned at a lower position than the lower surface of a transmission window 23 by 139 mm, and a process for forming the SiO2 film is carried out while the main electromagnetic coil 5 is arranged so that the lower surface of the coil 5 is positioned at a lower position than the lower surface of the transmission 23 by 157 mm.
