摘要:
To improve the performance of a CMISFET having a high-k gate insulating film and a metal gate electrode. An n-channel MISFET has, over the surface of a p-type well of a semiconductor substrate, a gate electrode formed via a first Hf-containing insulating film serving as a gate insulating film, while a p-channel MISFET has, over the surface of an n-type well, another gate electrode formed via a second Hf-containing insulating film serving as a gate insulating film. These gate electrodes have a stack structure of a metal film and a silicon film thereover. The first Hf-containing insulating film is an insulating material film comprised of Hf, a rare earth element, Si, O, and N or comprised of Hf, a rare earth element, Si, and O, while the second Hf-containing insulating film is an insulating material film comprised of Hf, Al, O, and N or comprised of Hf, Al, and O.

To improve productivity and performance of a CMISFET including a high-dielectric-constant gate insulating film and a metal gate electrode. An Hf-containing insulating film for a gate insulating film is formed over the main surface of a semiconductor substrate. A metal nitride film is formed on the insulating film. The metal nitride film in an nMIS formation region where an n-channel MISFET is to be formed is selectively removed by wet etching using a photoresist pattern on the metal nitride films a mask. Then, a threshold adjustment film containing a rare-earth element is formed. The Hf-containing insulating film in the nMIS formation region reacts with the threshold adjustment film by heat treatment. The Hf-containing insulating film in a pMIS formation region where a p-channel MISFET is to be formed does not react with the threshold adjustment film because of the existence of the metal nitride film. Then, after removing the unreacted threshold adjustment film and the metal nitride film, metal gate electrodes are formed in the nMIS formation region and the pMIS formation region.

A gate insulating film on a silicon substrate of includes a SiO2 film and a high-k film. The high-k film contains a transition metal, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen. The concentration of silicon in the high-k film is higher than the concentrations of the transition metal and aluminum in the vicinity of the interface with the SiO2 film and the vicinity of the interface with the gate electrode. Furthermore, it is preferable that the concentration of silicon is the highest at least in one of the vicinity of the interface with the SiO2 film or the vicinity of the interface with the gate electrode, gradually decreases with distance from these interfaces, and becomes the lowest in a central part of the high-k film.

A thin film forming apparatus using a laser includes a chamber (1), a target (5) placed therein, a laser light source (10) for emitting a laser beam to target 5, and a substrate holder (3). When the target is irradiated with a laser beam, a plume (15) is generated, and materials included in plume 15 are deposited on the surface of a substrate (2) held by the substrate holder (3). A magnetic field is generated to direct the plume. The magnetic field can be parallel to the surface of the substrate or in another embodiment a cusp magnetic field can be used (see FIG. 130).

A vaporizing device for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) source materials includes a vaporizer for vaporizing introduced CVD source materials by heating, a spray nozzle of which an end portion is fixedly attached to the vaporizer for spraying the CVD source materials into the vaporizer, a cooling mechanism for cooling the spray nozzle, and a heat conduction restrictor attached to the end portion, proximate of the end portion, or to the vaporizer. Generation of non-vaporized residues and particles is decreased, improving productivity owing to prolongation of continuous operation time of the apparatus and a decrease in film defects.

There is provided a (Ba, Sr) TiO.sub.3 film of higher dielectric constant and less leakage current for serving as a dielectric thin film of a capacitor in a semiconductor memory. DPM (dipivaloylmethanato) compounds of Ba, Sr and Ti are dissolved in THF (tetrahydrofuran) to obtain Ba(DPM).sub.2 /THF, Sr(DPM).sub.2 /THF and TiO(DPM).sub.2 /THF solutions which are used as source material solutions. A (Ba, Sr) TiO.sub.3 film is formed by a CVD method while increasing a relative percentage of a Ti source material flow rate to a sum of Ba source material flow rate and Sr source material flow rate. The film formation is carried out in multiple steps, and annealing is applied in each step after deposition of the film.
