摘要： The present invention discloses a method for forming a dielectric film having improved leakage current characteristics in a capacitor. A lower electrode having a surface and a rounded protruding portion is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The surface and the protruding portion define at least one concave area. A chemisorption layer is then formed on the surface and the rounded protruding portion by supplying a first reactant. Also, a physisorption layer is formed on the chemisorption layer from the first reactant. Next, a portion of the physisorption layer is removed and a portion of the physisorption layer is left on the concave area. Subsequently, the chemisorption layer and the portion of the physisorption layer on the concave area react with a second reactant to form a dielectric film on the surface of the lower electrode. The thickness of said dielectric film is greater on the concave area than on the protruding portion, thereby reducing leakage current.

摘要： A method for forming a metal layer using an atomic layer deposition process. A sacrificial metal atomic layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate by reacting a precursor containing a metal with a reducing gas, and a metal atomic layer is formed of metal atoms separated from a metal halide gas on a semiconductor substrate by reacting the sacrificial metal atomic layer with a metal halide gas. Also, a silicon atomic layer may be additionally formed on the metal atomic layer using a silicon source gas, to thereby alternately stack metal atomic layers and silicon layers. Thus, a metal layer or a metal silicide layer having excellent step coverage can be formed on the semiconductor substrate.

摘要： A wiring layer of a semiconductor device having a novel contact structure is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer having an opening (contact hole or via), a reactive spacer formed on the sidewall of the opening or a reactive layer formed on the sidewall and on the bottom surface of the opening and a first conductive layer formed on the insulating layer which completely fills the opening. Since the reactive spacer or layer is formed on the sidewall of the opening, when the first conductive layer material is deposited, large islands will form to become large grains of the sputtered Al film. Also, providing the reactive spacer or layer improves the reflow of the first conductive layer during a heat-treating step for filling the opening at a high temperature below a melting temperature. Thus, complete filling of the opening with sputtered Al can be ensured. All the contact holes, being less than 1 .mu.m in size and having an aspect ratio greater than 1.0, can be completely filled with Al, to thereby enhance the reliability of the wiring of a semiconductor device.

The method of forming a metal nitride film using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in which a metal source and a nitrogen source are used as a precursor, includes the steps of inserting a semiconductor substrate into a deposition chamber, flowing the metal source into the deposition chamber, removing the metal source remaining in the deposition chamber by cutting off the inflow of the metal source and flowing a purge gas into the deposition chamber, cutting off the purge gas and flowing the nitrogen source into the deposition chamber to react with the metal source adsorbed on the semiconductor substrate, and removing the nitrogen source remaining in the deposition chamber by cutting off the inflow of the nitrogen source and flowing the purge gas into the deposition chamber. Accordingly, the metal nitride film has low resistivity and a low content of Cl even with excellent step coverage, and it can be formed at a temperature of 500° C. or lower. Also, a deposition speed, approximately 20 Å/cycle, is suitable for mass production.
