Abstract:
An etching method includes loading a target substrate W into a chamber 40, the target substrate W having a silicon nitride film formed thereon and at least one of a polysilicon film and a silicon oxide film formed adjacent to the silicon nitride film; supplying a fluorine (F)-containing gas and an O2 gas into the chamber 40, while at least the O2 gas is excited; and selectively etching the silicon nitride film with respect to at least one of the polysilicon film and the silicon oxide film using the F-containing gas and the O2 gas.
Abstract:
A predetermined process is performed on two target substrates using a substrate processing device that includes two processing parts for performing a substrate process on each of the two target substrates, a gas supply mechanism for separately supplying gases to the two processing parts, and a common exhaust mechanism for collectively exhausting the gases inside the two processing parts. A first mode is executed in which an HF gas and an NH3 gas are supplied to one of the two processing parts, and the HF gas is not supplied to the other of the two processing parts. Subsequently, a second mode is executed in which the HF gas and the NH3 gas are supplied to the two processing parts under the same gas conditions. In the first mode, a pressure difference is prevented from occurring between the two processing parts.
Abstract:
A gas treatment method of performing a gas treatment on a substrate having a recess includes: disposing the substrate having the recess in a chamber; adjusting a pressure inside the chamber to a predetermined pressure by supplying a pressure adjustment gas into the chamber in an evacuated state to increase the pressure inside the chamber; and subsequently, performing the gas treatment on a side wall of the recess of the substrate by causing a treatment reaction by a process gas in the chamber, wherein the process gas causing the treatment reaction is used as at least a part of the pressure adjustment gas in the adjusting the pressure.
Abstract:
There is provided a substrate processing apparatus of performing a predetermined substrate process on a plurality of target substrates under a vacuum atmosphere, including: a plurality of processing parts each configured to perform the substrate process on each of the plurality of target substrates; a gas supply mechanism configured to supply a processing gas to each of the plurality of processing parts; a single exhaust mechanism configured to exhaust the processing gas within the plurality of processing parts; and a control part configured to control the single exhaust mechanism to collectively exhaust the processing gas within the plurality of processing parts, and control the gas supply mechanism to separately supply the processing gas into each of the plurality of processing parts such that a difference between internal pressures of the plurality of processing parts is prevented.
