摘要:
In a method of forming an oxide layer using an atomic layer deposition and a method of forming a capacitor of a semiconductor device using the same, a precursor including an amino functional group is introduced onto a substrate to chemisorb a portion of the precursor on the substrate. Then, the non-chemisorbed precursor is removed. Thereafter, an oxidant is introduced onto the substrate to chemically react the chemisorbed precursor with the oxidant to form an oxide layer on the substrate. A deposition rate is fast and an oxide layer having a good deposition characteristic may be obtained. Also, a thin oxide film having a good step coverage and a decreased pattern loading rate can be formed.

A semiconductor device and a method for forming the same. A dielectric layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate or on a lower electrode of a capacitor. Vacuum annealing is performed on the dielectric layer. Thus, impurities remaining in the dielectric layer can be effectively removed, and the dielectric layer can be densified. As a result, the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device are improved. For example, the leakage current characteristics of the dielectric layer are improved and capacitance is increased.

An apparatus for depositing a thin film includes a reaction chamber, a reaction gas provider to supply a reaction gas and/or inert gas to the reaction chamber, an oxidant provider to supply a first oxidant and a second oxidant to the reaction chamber, and an air drain to exhaust gas from the apparatus. The oxidant provider is operable to supply the second oxidant to the reaction chamber using the first oxidant as a transfer gas.

The ALD process utilizes a first reactant containing at least one alkoxide group that is chemisorbed onto a surface of a substrate and then reacted with an activated oxidant that contains no hydroxyl group to form a dielectric material exhibiting excellent step coverage and improved leakage current characteristics.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method for forming metal oxide dielectric layers, more particularly HfO2 dielectric layers, using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method in which a series of thin intermediate layers are formed and treated with one or more oxidizers and nitrogents before the next intermediate layer is formed on the substrate. The intermediate oxidation treatments reduce the number of organic contaminants incorporated into the metal oxide layer from the organometallic precursors to produce a dielectric layer having improved current leakage characteristics. The dielectric layers formed in this manner remain susceptible to crystallization if exposed to temperatures much above 550° C., so subsequent semiconductor manufacturing processes should be modified or eliminated to avoid such temperatures or limit the duration at such temperatures to maintain the performance of the dielectric materials.
