摘要:
A film is formed so that the atomic numbers ratio of Sr to Ti, i.e., Sr/Ti, in the film is not less than 1.2 and not more than 3. The film is then annealed in an atmosphere containing not less than 0.001% and not more than 80% of O2 at 500° C. or above. An SrO film forming step or a TiO film forming step are repeated a plurality of times so that a sequence, in which a plurality of SrO film forming steps or/and a plurality of TiO film forming steps are performed continuously, is included. When Sr is oxidized after the adsorption of Sr, O3 and H2O are used as an oxidizing agent.

Provided is a heat treatment apparatus which, when simultaneously heating substrates placed on susceptors, is capable of controlling the uniformity of temperature within each substrate. The heat treatment apparatus includes: a reaction tube which performs predetermined treatment to wafers; a plurality of susceptors each of which has a mounting surface for mounting the wafer and is made of a conductive material; a rotatable quartz boat wherein the susceptors spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surfaces are arranged and supported in the reaction tube; a magnetic field generating unit which is arranged on a sidewall of the processing chamber and includes a pair of electromagnets which generate an AC magnetic field in a direction parallel to the mounting surfaces of the susceptors and inductively heat the susceptors; and a control unit which controls the AC magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating unit.

摘要:
A substrate is placed and heated in a process chamber. A gas of a pentadienyl compound of ruthenium, such as 2,4-dimethylpentadienyl ethylcyclopentadienyl ruthenium, and oxygen gas are supplied into the process chamber. These gases react with each other on the substrate thus heated, and a ruthenium film is thereby formed on the substrate.

A semiconductor substrate is placed in a predetermined processing vessel, and oxygen gas activated by, e.g. conversion into a plasma is supplied onto an insulating film. The surfaces of an interlevel insulating film and insulating film are exposed to the activated oxygen gas. After that, a transition metal film, e.g. a ruthenium film, is formed by CVD.

A CVD process of forming a conductive film containing Ti, Si and N includes a first step of supplying gaseous sources of Ti, Si and N simultaneously to grow a conductive film and a second step of supplying the gaseous sources of Ti, Si and N in a state that a flow rate of the gaseous source of Ti is reduced, to grow the conductive film further, wherein the first step and the second step are conducted alternately.

A method for depositing metal layers on semiconductor substrates by a thermal chemical vapor deposition (TCVD) process includes introducing a process gas containing a metal carbonyl precursor in a process chamber and depositing a metal layer on a substrate. The TCVD process utilizes a short residence time for the gaseous species in the processing zone above the substrate to form a low-resistivity metal layer. In one embodiment of the invention, the metal carbonyl precursor can be selected from at least one of W(CO)6, Ni(CO)4, Mo(CO)6, Co2(CO)8, Rh4(CO)12, Re2(CO)10, Cr(CO)6, and Ru3(CO)12 precursors. In another embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for depositing low-resistivity W layers at substrate temperatures below about 500° C., by utilizing a residence time less than about 120 msec.
摘要:
A method of forming a metal film using a metal carbonyl compound as a material is disclosed that includes the steps of: (a) introducing a reactive gas into a space near a surface of a substrate to be processed; and (b) introducing a gaseous phase material including the metal carbonyl compound into the space on the surface of the substrate to be processed, and depositing the metal film on the surface of the substrate to be processed after step (a). Step (a) is executed in such a manner as to prevent substantial deposition of the metal film on the substrate to be processed.
