Abstract:
In a continuous processing system, a controller of a heat treatment apparatus calculates a weight of each layer from input target film thicknesses of a phosphorous-doped polysilicon film (D-poly film) and an amorphous silicon film (a-Si film), and calculates activation energy of stacked films based on the calculated weight and activation energy. The controller prepares a stacked film model based on the calculated activation energy and a relationship of a temperature of each zone and film thicknesses of the D-poly film and the a-Si film, and calculates an optimum temperature of each zone by using the prepared stacked film model. The controller controls power controllers of heaters to set a temperature in a reaction tube to be the calculated temperature of each zone and forms stacked films on a semiconductor wafer by controlling a pressure adjusting unit, flow rate adjusting units, etc.
Abstract:
A technique capable of increasing the deuterium concentration in an insulating film is provided. A substrate processing method according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes preparing a substrate having an insulating film on a surface thereof, raising the temperature of the substrate from a first temperature to a second temperature higher than the first temperature, and maintaining the substrate at the second temperature. Raising of the temperature to the second temperature includes supplying either gas or both gases selected from deuterium gas and hydrogen gas to the substrate, and maintaining of the substrate at the second temperature includes supplying a deuterium gas to the substrate.
