A chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system for depositing a material selectively on a part of a substrate comprises a reaction chamber in which a CVD process is performed, a substrate holder and substrate heater provided within the reaction chamber, a gas inlet fixture provided on the reaction chamber for introducing one or more CVD source gases into the reaction chamber, and a reactant distribution fixture provided on the gas inlet fixture within the reaction chamber for controlling distribution of the reactant species in the reaction chamber, wherein the reactant distribution fixture defines a subspace surrounding the substrate within the space of the reaction chamber such that the subspace has a dimension, measured in a direction generally perpendicular to the surface of the substrate such that the dimension is at least less than one half of the mean free path of the reactant species realized inside the space of the reaction chamber during the CVD process and such that an opening is formed for communicating the subspace inside the reaction distribution means with the rest of the space of the reaction chamber for freely passing product species formed as a result of the chemical reaction at the surface of the substrate.

A refractory metal nitride is deposited at a temperature of 600.degree. C. according to a chemical vapor phase deposition method by using a source gas containing a refractory metallic element and a reduction gas containing one of an alkyl amino compound, alkyl azide compound, hydrazine and a hydrazine alkyl compound for reducing the source gas. This refractory metal nitride is used as a barrier metal material for interconnection in a semiconductor device. When forming a refractory metal nitride as a barrier metal on a silicon layer or forming a contact metal between the barrier metal and the silicon layer, a natural oxide film on the surface of the silicon layer set in a pressure-reduced atmosphere is removed by reducing with hydrazine or a hydrazine alkyl compound.

When an object of treatment is subjected to, for example, a gas treatment in an airtight chamber, reaction products adhere to the inner wall surface of the chamber, an object holder therein, and the corner portions of the chamber. When a cleaning medium is injected into the chamber, according to the present invention, the reaction products are dissolved in the cleaning medium by hydrolysis. Thereafter, the cleaning medium is discharged from the chamber. Then, the chamber is heated and evacuated, so that water vapor is discharged to provide a predetermined degree of vacuum, whereupon the treatment can be started anew. Therefore, a wiping operation can be omitted. Moreover, the reaction products remaining at the corner portions of the chamber can be removed without forming a source of polluted particles, so that the necessity of overhauling can be obviated. Thus, fully automatic cleaning, so to speak, can be effected, and the chamber need not be open to the atmosphere, so that the throughput can be improved.

The present invention is provided to remove dust that adhered to a cooling fan. A plurality of comparators are disposed for each of a plurality of coils, respectively, and generates a back electromotive force sensing signal denoting a comparison result by comparing a back electromotive force appearing at one end of each corresponding coil with a neutral-point voltage of the coils. A driving signal synthesis circuit generates a driving control signal used to enable the fan motor to proceed the following actions: (i) enabling the fan motor to rotate toward the opposite direction as a normal operation within a specific reverse rotation period after a driving of the fan motor is started, (ii) applying a brake to the fan motor within a braking period, and (iii) enabling the fan motor to rotate toward a direction of normal operation in a normal driving period. A driving circuit drives the fan motor.

A stationary position detection circuit and a motor drive circuit capable of more properly detecting the rotor position are disclosed. The stationary position detection circuit supplies an alternating current to each phase load of the motor. The time during which the current flows in a first direction and the time during which the current flows in a second direction opposite to the first direction are converted into electrical signals and amplified. In accordance with the value of the electrical signals, the position of the motor rotor in stationary mode is determined. The use of the alternating current, unlike the kickback voltage, makes it possible to improve the detection accuracy by amplifying the electrical signals with an increased number of alternations. An increased number of alternations can amplify the electrical signals without increasing the value of the alternating current, and therefore, unlike in the case of the kickback voltage, the alternating current of a large value is not required. As a result, the alternating current can be reduced to a small value and the vibration can be suppressed.
