    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming interconnects on a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer by filling a conductive material such as copper (Cu) in fine recesses formed in a surface of the substrate. A method for forming interconnects comprises providing a substrate and a target composed of a conductive material in confrontation with each other in a chamber, introducing a sputtering gas into the chamber while a high voltage is applied between the substrate and the target to cause the sputtering gas to collide with the target, and depositing particles of the conductive material emitted from the target on the surface of the substrate to form a thin film, while sputter-etching the thin film by reflection sputtering gas molecules reflected from the target and having high energy.

    摘要: A trap apparatus is optimum for trapping a material gas discharged from a vapor deposition apparatus for depositing in a vapor phase thin films of high-dielectric or ferroelectric such as barium/strontium titanates on substrates. The trap apparatus is disposed downstream of a vacuum process chamber. The vacuum process chamber is for processing a substrate. The trap apparatus is for trapping a component having a low vapor pressure contained in a gas discharged from the vacuum process chamber. The trap apparatus includes a trap container for introducing the gas discharged from the vacuum process chamber, and a cooling device provided in the trap container for cooling the gas to a temperature equal to or lower than a condensing temperature of a gas component which is contained in the gas and easily liquidized.
