Abstract:
A method for forming a silicon-containing film in a recess formed on a surface of a substrate, the method includes: (a) forming a flowable film in the recess by exposing the substrate, which is adjusted to a first temperature, to plasma generated from a processing gas including a halogen-containing silane: and (b) curing the flowable film by thermally processing the substrate at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.
Abstract:
A method of forming an insulating film includes supplying a precursor gas to a substrate to generate a fluidic oligomer by plasma polymerization and deposit the fluidic oligomer on the substrate, performing a plasma process on the substrate after the depositing the fluidic oligomer, so that at least a part of the fluidic oligomer is hydrogen-terminated while maintaining fluidity of the fluidic oligomer, and subsequently performing an annealing process, which includes a plasma process, on the substrate to form the insulating film.
Abstract:
A substrate-processing method includes a) forming a flowable oligomer on a substrate, the flowable oligomer containing carbon; and b) exposing the substrate to a plasma of a modification gas containing carbon and hydrogen, thereby modifying the flowable oligomer and forming a carbon-containing film.
Abstract:
A method of forming an insulating film on a substrate having a recess, includes preparing the substrate inside a chamber of a processing apparatus, forming a flowable oligomer film on the substrate by supplying a processing gas containing a raw material gas and a diluent gas into the chamber and generating a flowable oligomer by plasma polymerization, controlling an interior of the chamber to have a pressure equal to or lower than a vapor pressure of the flowable oligomer to partially vaporize and remove the flowable oligomer film, and forming the insulating film in the recess by supplying energy to the substrate to cure the flowable oligomer.
