摘要:
A Cu film is deposited on a substrate by ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) process, in which: a Cu-carboxyl acid complex or a derivative thereof having a high vapor pressure and wettability to a base is used in a gasified state; H2 is used as a reductive gas; and a step of adsorbing a source material gas to a substrate and a step of forming a Cu film by reducing the adsorbed gas with a reductive gas are repeated alternately. With this method, a conformal Cu film having excellent quality can be formed.

A film-forming source material composed of a Cu complex is supplied to a wafer, which is kept at a relatively high first temperature and has a Ru film as a film-forming base film, and initial nuclei of Cu are formed on the wafer. Then, the film-forming source material composed of the Cu complex is supplied to the wafer kept at a relatively low second temperature, and Cu is deposited on the wafer having the initial nuclei of Cu formed thereon.

A vaporizer vaporizes a force-fed liquid source material in a depressurized atmosphere to generate a source gas and discharging the source gas together with a carrier gas. The vaporizer includes a liquid reservoir chamber for temporarily storing the force-fed liquid source material; and a vaporization chamber communicating with the liquid reservoir chamber via a valve port. Further, the vaporizer includes a valve body adapted to sit on a valve seat surrounding the valve port of the liquid reservoir chamber; an actuator for driving the valve body; a carrier gas injection hole formed at a side of the valve body facing the valve port; and a discharge port for discharging the source gas from the vaporization chamber. By virtue of a specific arrangement of the carrier gas injection hole, the liquid source material is prevented from remaining unvaporized at a downstream side of the valve port.

There is provided a substrate treatment method performed on a substrate before forming a Cu film on a surface of a base material of the substrate. In the substrate treatment method, a substrate on which a Cu film is to be formed is prepared; and a specific treatment is performed on the substrate so that a crystalline orientation of the surface of the base material of the substrate has a small lattice mismatch with the Cu film.

Provided is a semiconductor device which has excellent adhesiveness to a copper film and a base film thereof and has a small resistance between wirings. The semiconductor device includes a porous insulating layer (SIOC film 11) which absorbed water from the atmosphere, and a substrate (wafer W) having a trench 100 formed on such insulating film is placed in a processing chamber. The substrate is coated with a first base film (Ti film 13) made of a valve metal. The surface of the first film brought into contact with the insulating film is oxidized by the water discharged from the insulating layer, and a passivation film 13a is formed. The surface of the first base film is coated with a second base film made of nitride or carbide of the valve metal, and a copper film 15 is formed on the surface of the second base film by CVD by using a copper organic compound as a material.

摘要:
A method of rapidly forming a thin film of high quality through film formation by alternate feeding of raw gases. In particular, a method of forming a TiN thin film, comprising repeating operations including causing TiCl4 gas as a raw gas to be adsorbed on a substrate or TiCl4 molecules adsorbed on a substrate and feeding NH3 gas as a reactant gas in a treating chamber so as to effect reaction of TiCl4 and NH3 leading to formation of a TiN film, which method further comprises an operation of, prior to the adsorption of TiCl4 gas on the substrate, feeding reducing H2 gas in the treating chamber (30) so as to change TiCl4 to a state of enhanced likelihood of adsorption on the substrate (e.g., TiCl3).

There is provided a layered thin film structure forming method capable of forming a layered thin film structure bonded to an underlying layer by high adhesion, of suppressing the peeling of the layered thin film structure off the underlying layer, of achieving satisfactory step coverage even under high miniaturization, and of satisfactorily diffusing an alloying element. A layered thin film structure forming method of forming a layered thin film structure by depositing a plurality of thin films on a surface of a workpiece in a processing vessel capable of being evacuated includes the steps of: forming an alloying-element film 104 of a first metal by using a source gas containing the first metal as an alloying element, and a reducing gas; and forming a base-metal film 106 of a second metal in a thickness greater than that of the alloying-element film by using a source gas containing the second metal, and a reducing gas. At least one cycle of the alternate steps of forming the alloying-element film and forming the base-metal film is executed.
