    摘要: A semiconductor fabrication system includes a mixing bowl, a distribution system receiving a mixture of gases from the mixing bowl, and a process chamber in fluid communication with the distribution system for performing a variety of semiconductor processes, e.g., deposition and etch processes, on a substrate. A plurality of mixing bowl sensors are disposed within a cavity of the mixing bowl and issue gas signals indicative of the type and flow-rate of the detected gas. Further, at least one process chamber sensor is provided within the process chamber and disposed proximal to the substrate. The process chamber sensor has a resonance property which changes upon exposure to the semiconductor process, i.e., a build-up of deposited material on a surface of the sensor, and issues material process signals indicative of the anticipated material on the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: STEP 1 (Pressure increasing step) increases pressure within a raw material container to first pressure by supplying carrier gas to the inside of the raw material container by PCV. STEP 2 (Pressure decreasing step) decreases the pressure within the raw material container to second pressure by operating an exhaust device and discarding the raw material gas from a raw material gas supply pipe via an exhaust bypass pipe. STEP 3 (Stabilization step) stabilizes the vaporization efficiency for vaporizing the raw material inside the raw material container by operating the exhaust device and discarding the raw material gas while introducing the carrier gas into the raw material container. STEP 4 (Film forming step) supplies the raw material gas to the inside of the processing container via the raw material gas supply pipe and deposits a thin film on a wafer by CVD.

    摘要: A vapor deposition device includes a reactor including a reaction chamber and an injector for injecting vapor into the reaction chamber. The device also includes a manifold for delivering vapor to the injector. The manifold includes a manifold body having an internal bore, a first distribution channel disposed within the body in a plane intersecting the longitudinal axis of the bore, and a plurality of supply channels disposed within the body and in flow communication with the first distribution channel and with the bore. Each of the first supply channels is disposed at an acute angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bore, and each of the supply channels connects with the bore at a different angular position about the longitudinal axis. The distribution channel (and thus, the supply channels) can be connected with a common reactant source. Related deposition methods are also described.
