    摘要: To provide technology that can increase the productivity of an apparatus when magnetron sputtering is carried out using a target formed from magnetic material. The present disclosure is an apparatus provided with: a cylindrical body that is a target formed from magnetic material, disposed above a substrate; a rotating mechanism that rotates this cylindrical body around the axis of the cylindrical body; a magnet array provided inside a hollow part of the cylindrical body; and a power supply that applies voltage to the cylindrical body. Furthermore, the magnet array has a cross sectional profile, orthogonal to the axis of the cylindrical body. Thus, even if a target with a comparatively large thickness is used, reductions in the intensity of the magnetic field that leaks from the target can be suppressed, and local progress in erosion can be suppressed.

    摘要: Improved process flows and methods are provided for processing a semiconductor substrate have exposed dielectric and metal-containing surfaces. More specifically, improved process flows and methods are provided for pre-cleaning the metal-containing surfaces prior to depositing a metal material onto the metal-containing surfaces. Hot vapor-phase etching is used to remove a native oxide film from the metal-containing surfaces. Prior to hot vapor-phase etching, the semiconductor substrate is exposed to a first silicon-containing gas to deposit an inhibitor film onto the exposed dielectric and metal-containing surfaces. The inhibitor film protects the dielectric surfaces while the native oxide film is being removed via the hot vapor-phase etching. In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate is exposed to a second silicon-containing gas, after hot vapor-phase etching, to remove residues of the hot vapor-phase etching process from the pre-cleaned metal-containing surfaces.
