摘要:
A plasma chemical vapor deposition method for forming a film on a substrate which is placed on one of a pair of electrodes oppositely arranged within the reaction chamber of a reactor. A plurality of power generators of different frequencies are applied to the electrodes to excite reactive gases introduced into the reaction chamber, whereby the reactive gases are transformed into a plasma and a desired film is formed on the substrate. Film with a small number of pinholes was formed at a relatively high deposition rate by combinations of power generator frequencies of, for example, 13.56 MHz and 1 MHz, 13.56 MHz and 50 KHz, and 5 MHz and 400 KHz.

A method of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of a phosphosilicate glass film on a substrate from a reaction gas mixture including SiH.sub.4, N.sub.2 O and PH.sub.3 is disclosed. This deposition is effected under the conditions such that a mol ratio of N.sub.2 O to SiH.sub.4 (N.sub.2 O/SiH.sub.4) in the reaction gas mixture is 50 or more and that a mol ratio of PH.sub.3 to SiH.sub.4 (PH.sub.3 /SiH.sub.4) in the reaction gas mixture is 0.08 or less. In the phosphosilicate glass film thus deposited, no cracking occurs due to a high temperature heat-treatment and due to the stress, caused by cooling the deposited films to an ordinarily ambient temperature.

[Task] In a proposed protection method, re-oxidation of a semiconductor wafer is prevented. The method is appropriate for fine patterned semiconductor device. A wafer is dry etched and is subjected to a next step of forming an electrode material film. The dry-etched wafer is maintained not re-oxidized until the next step. The dry etching reaction products are appropriately removed.[Means for Solution] A wafer, on which the dry etching reaction products remain, is protected by the reaction products. The wafer is held in an inert gas protective atmosphere having a pressure of 50 Pa or more and an atmospheric pressure or less, or is held in air equivalent to the air of a clean room or in a gas-mixture atmosphere of said air and an inert gas. The reaction products are decomposed and removed by heating immediately before the formation of an electrode-material film.

[Task] Native oxide film on a semiconductor silicon wafer(s) is dry etched at a temperature of 50° C. or less. Hydrogen treatment is then carried out a temperature of 100° C. or more to bond the dangling bonds with hydrogen. A jig 9 that has been used is again used for loading new semiconductor silicon wafer(s) 10. The wafer(s) on the jig 9 is subjected to removal of a native oxide film and then hydrogen bonding. The resultant heat remains in jig and makes it difficult to maintain the wafers to temperature appropriate to removal of a native oxide film.[Means for Solution] After treatment of hydrogen bonding, inert gas having temperature of from 0 to −30° C. is injected into reaction vessel 5 and/or treatment preparing vessel 21, in which a native oxide film has been removed.
摘要:
In a method for producing a semiconductor device using a dual tube reactor, inert gas is fed into the vertical reaction-tube, a reaction gas is introduced into the vertical reaction-tube, the inert gas is exhausted through the annular channel formed between the inner tube and the outer tube at a bottom portion of the vertical reaction-tube; and, a wafer is heat treated in the vertical reaction-tube by means of a heating furnace. In order to decrease the number and size of the particles, the wafer is displaced upward and then positioned at a level substantially the same as or above the top end of the inner tube, and the reaction gas is introduced into the vertical reaction-tube at or above the position of the wafer. Furthermore, the inert gas is caused to flow from a bottom portion of the inner tube toward the wafer positioned as above. As a result, inflow of the reaction gas into the inner tube is impeded, and the generation of particles there can be lessened.

The film growth speed of a conventional vertical heating method, such as SiO2 film, polycrystalline Si film or the like of a semiconductor device, is enhanced by means of discharging and sucking the reaction gas onto and from the Si wafers placed horizontally in the vertical furnace. The wafers are rotated and the wafer-distance is set at 5 mm or more.

A wafer(s) for producing semiconductor devices is subjected to heat treatment in a vertical thermal reactor, which is provided with an electric heating means setting a first temperature and another electric heating means setting a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The wafer(s) is moved upwards and is subjected to a treatment in the second region of the vertical thermal reactor; and, is reverted to the first region. Rapid thermal processing of 6 or 8 inch wafer(s) is possible without causing slip lines.

Epitaxial layers are formed by introducing a reaction gas mixture into a reaction vessel in which semiconductor substrates are located, under a pressure of not higher than 1333 Pa (10 Torr), and heating said semiconductor substrates by high frequency induction power so that layers grow epitaxially on said semiconductor substrates. The frequency f of high frequency power is not higher than 50 kHz, and the pressure P in said reaction vessel is maintained in the following range ##STR1## wherein, P is the pressure in units of Pa or Torr in the reaction vessel and f is the frequency in kHz of said high frequency power.
