摘要:
Rapid thermal nitridation is carried out to form a nitride film on a lower electrode which is made of silicon, and a tantalum oxide dielectric film is further formed thereon. Then, wet oxidization is carried out to oxidize the lower electrode through the dielectric film and the nitride film, thus an oxide film is formed between the lower electrode and the nitride film. Further, silicon which is not bonded to nitrogen in the nitride film is oxidized, thus an oxide film whose effective thickness is equal to or greater than 2 nm. The oxidization also recrystallizes the dielectric film. Finally, an upper electrode is formed, and the capacitor is completed.

In a silicon nitride film formation method, a substrate to be subjected to film formation is heated, and silicon tetrachloride and ammonia gases are supplied to the substrate heated to a predetermined temperature. The ratio of the partial pressure of the silicon tetrachloride gas to that of the ammonia gas is set to not less than 0.5.

A tantalum oxide film is formed on a lower conductive film by vapor-deposition, and then is treated with active oxygen species. The treated film is annealed at a temperature lower than the crystallization temperature of tantalum oxide by 10 to 80° C. in an inert atmosphere. Subsequently, an upper conductive film is formed on the annealed tantalum oxide film.

A substrate stage for mounting a substrate thereon includes a peripheral stage member on which a peripheral substrate portion of the substrate may be mounted, the peripheral substrate portion controlling a temperature of the peripheral substrate portion, a central stage member on which a central substrate portion of the substrate may be mounted, the central substrate portion controlling a temperature of the central substrate portion, and a support base that supports the peripheral stage member and the central stage member. A gap is formed between the peripheral stage member and the central stage member to keep the peripheral stage member and the central stage member from coming in contact with each other.

A heat treatment apparatus for heat-treating a silicon substrate includes a mounting table for mounting and heating the silicon substrate thereon, wherein a cover made of any of silicon, silicon carbide, and aluminum nitride is placed on an upper surface of the mounting table. By covering the upper surface of the mounting table by the cover made of silicon or the like, metal contamination of the lower surface of the silicon substrate is suppressed.

An etching method includes preparing a target object such that a first oxide film made of silicon oxide containing at least one of B and P is formed on a substrate, a second oxide film made of silicon oxide containing neither of B and P is formed on the first oxide film, and a contact portion is present below an interface between the first oxide film and the second oxide film. The etching method further includes etching the second oxide film and the first oxide film, thereby forming a hole reaching the contact portion, and etching the first oxide film by a dry process using a gas containing HF, thereby expanding a portion of the hole adjacent to an upper side of the contact portion and inside the first oxide film.
