摘要:
A CVD apparatus for fabricating a titanium nitride thin film is provided. The apparatus comprises an evacuatable reaction vessel having an interior, a pumping apparatus capable of exhausting the reaction vessel and maintaining the interior of the reaction vessel at a prescribed pressure, a gas feeder for introducing a mixed gas into the reaction vessel, a substrate holder in the reaction vessel for holding a substrate to be coated with a titanium nitride thin film, and a heater for heating the substrate. The gas feeder is equipped with the following components: (a) a vaporizer for vaporizing tetrakis(dialkylamino)titanium (TDAAT) from a liquid source material, (b) a first flow controller capable of setting a flow rate of the vaporized TDAAT to any level within a range of 0.004-02 g/min, (c) a second flow controller capable of setting a flow rate of a first carrier gas mixed with the TDAAT to any level within a range of 100-1000 sccm, (d) a third flow controller capable of setting a flow rate of an added gas reactable with the TDAAT to any level within a range of 10-100 sccm, (e) a fourth flow controller capable of setting a flow rate of a second carrier gas being mixed with the added gas to any level within a range of 10-500 sccm, (f) a first supply conduit for mixing the TDAAT and the first carrier gas to create a first mixed gas and guiding the resulting first mixed gas into the reaction vessel, (g) a second supply conduit for mixing the added gas and the second carrier gas to create a second mixed gas and guiding the resulting second mixed gas into the reaction vessel, and (h) a shower head which is provided with a plurality of first nozzles connected to the first supply conduit, and a plurality of second nozzles connected to the second supply conduit, and which is configured such that the first and second mixed gases are fed into the reaction vessel through the nozzles.

A method for fabricating a titanium nitride thin film in a reaction vessel on a surface of a substrate heated to a prescribed temperature, includes the steps of mixing tetrakis(dialkylamino)titanium (TDAAT) and a first carrier gas to create a first mixed gas; feeding the first mixed gas into the reaction vessel through a first set of nozzles; mixing an added gas reactive with the tetrakis(dialkylamino)titanium with a second carrier gas to create a second mixed gas; feeding the second mixed gas into the reaction vessel through a second set of nozzles; while controlling the flow rates of the TDAAT, added gas, firt and second carrier gases; and depositing a titanium nitride thin film by the first mixed gas and the second mixed gas while confining the pressure inside the reaction vessel to a range of 0.1-15 Pa.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of depositing a titanium nitride thin film with good coverage even in a hole with a high aspect ratio by using tetrakisdialkylaminotitanium. In this method, a raw material gas of tetrakisdialkylaminotitanium is introduced into a reactor through a raw material gas introduction system. When the raw material gas is supplied to a substrate which is previously heated by a holder temperature control mechanism, predetermined thermally chemical reaction takes place to deposit a thin film consisting of titanium nitride as a main component. The pressure in the reactor is controlled by an exhaust system so as to be maintained at a predetermined value in the range of about 0.1 to 15 Pa.
