摘要:
In a film deposition method which forms a Cu film on a Cu diffusion preventing film formed on a substrate, a contact film which is provided for adhering the Cu film to the Cu diffusion preventing film is formed on the Cu diffusion preventing film. A processing medium in which a precursor is dissolved in a medium of a supercritical state is supplied to the substrate so that the Cu film is formed on the contact film.

A film formation method of forming a film on a fine-pattern by supplying a processing medium that is in the supercritical state in which a precursor is dissolved on a target substrate is disclosed. The film formation method includes a first process of supplying the processing medium on the target substrate, the temperature of which is set at a first temperature that is lower than a film formation minimum temperature that is the lowest temperature at which film formation takes place, and a second process of forming the film on the target substrate by raising the temperature of the target substrate from the first temperature to a second temperature that is higher than the film formation minimum temperature.
摘要:
A metal interconnection is prepared by forming an underlying metal film of high melting point metal such as Ti and/or high melting point metal compound such as TiN layers above a semiconductor substrate, plasma etching the surface of the underlying metal film in a gas atmosphere containing chloride, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al, Cu, Au and Ag on the underlying metal film. Alternatively, a metal interconnection is prepared by forming an insulating film above a semiconductor substrate, forming connection holes in the insulating film, forming an underlying metal film such as TiN on the insulating film and the bottom and side wall of the connection holes by a CVD process under controlled conditions, and forming an interconnecting metal film such as Al on the underlying metal film. The TiN film has (111) preferential orientation and the aluminum film has (111) preferential orientation, smooth surface and effective coverage. The thus fabricated metal interconnection has improved reliability including electromigration immunity when used in semiconductor devices and finding advantageous use in miniaturized semiconductor devices.

An application-layer multicast (ALM) system allowing high-speed ALM with precise routing control and simplified configuration. The routing control and data copying are separately performed with different hardware circuits: routing controller; and data copying device. The routing control is performed on the CPU of a computer, whereas the data copying is performed on a dedicated hardware circuit. This separate structure is employed in each intermediate node in the ALM network. The data copying device communicates with the routing controller within the same segment to manage the content data to be relayed by the intermediate system using a management ID uniquely assigned to the content data within the segment.
摘要:
A high-pressure processing apparatus is used for performing a film formation process on a target object, while using a process fluid containing a high-pressure fluid and a film formation source material. The apparatus includes a pressure tight container defining a process field for accommodating the target object, and configured to withstand a pressure applied from the high-pressure fluid. The pressure tight container is made of a first material. A support member is disposed inside the pressure tight container to support the target object. A fluid supply system is configured to supply the process fluid onto the target object. A thermally shielding layer is disposed to cover a surface of the pressure tight container defining the process field. The thermally shielding layer is made of a second material having a thermal conductivity higher than that of the first material.
摘要:
A method of supplying, in a gaseous phase, a material which is in a viscous liquid phase at normal temperature. The viscous liquid material is provided in a bubbler and the pressure of the vessel is maintained below atmospheric pressure. A carrier gas is supplied through a nozzle opening in the liquid material inside the vessel. The carrier gas is temporarily dissolved in the liquid and then released to form fine bubbles into which the liquid material is vaporized, so that the vapor of the material is supplied together with the carrier gas.
