Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and a substrate processing apparatus, and more particularly to a method for processing a substrate using a reactant containing a source gas obtained by evaporating a liquid source.
- a substrate processing apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device that processes a substrate using a liquid raw material requires a liquid raw material vaporizing system for vaporizing the liquid raw material.
- the pipes must be heated as necessary to prevent the gas that has been vaporized by elevating the temperature of the liquid raw material in the liquid raw material vaporization system (hereinafter referred to as vaporized gas) to be liquefied.
- vaporized gas the gas that has been vaporized by elevating the temperature of the liquid raw material in the liquid raw material vaporization system
- the vapor pressure is low and the pipe is cooled and liquefied, so the pipe must be heated.
- the simplest way to control the flow of vaporized gas is with a valve.
- valve when simply controlling the flow of vaporized gas with a valve, the valve must also be heated. Generally, a valve that can be heated has a short life. If the valve is repeatedly opened and closed frequently, we estimate that 100 days of use may extend its life. Further, even if the vaporized gas is controlled by the valve, there is a problem that the vaporized gas raw material is adsorbed to the inside of the valve, particularly to the driving section, and in response, the film is peeled off and particles are generated. This adhesion of particles to the wafer surface must be avoided as much as possible, as the minimum processing size of semiconductor devices becomes smaller, causing chip failure.
- the pressure of the piping that carries the vaporized gas increases, and the gas may liquefy.
- the liquid generated here forms a film inside the pipe due to the self-decomposition reaction, and the diameter of the pipe gradually becomes narrower, and the pipe may be clogged.
- the flow rate of a liquid raw material is controlled by feedback control based on flow rate information.
- the feedback control of the liquid raw material has a problem that the controllability is very poor compared to the case where the flow rate control target is a vaporized gas. Therefore, various methods have been proposed to improve this.
- a liquid metal vaporization unit of a CVD apparatus which has a metal liquid flow controller and a vaporizer, and the flow controller can control a valve for opening and closing the flow path by both a pulse width and a frequency
- Metal liquid controlled by a flow controller is intermittently injected into a vaporizer as fine particles (for example, see Patent Document 1).
- a liquid material supply device using the MOCVD method a pressure chamber whose volume changes by driving a piezoelectric element, an introduction portion for introducing the material into the pressure chamber, and a material liquid compressed by the pressure chamber is ejected. And a control unit for controlling the amount of liquid material to be jetted. There is no vaporizer. A driving voltage pulse generated by a power supply circuit of a control unit is applied to the piezoelectric element to control the amount of raw liquid ejected (for example, see Patent Document 2).
- a control device for supplying a control signal for flowing out at a constant flow rate to the flow control valve, and a flow rate control valve having a droplet output structure for outputting the inflowing liquid phase material as droplets are provided. It has a pressure chamber that stores a liquid phase material, a diaphragm that can change the volume of the pressure chamber, and a piezoelectric element that changes the volume by generating a volume change corresponding to a control signal (for example, see Patent Reference 3).
- a reactant vaporized from a reactant source is led to a reaction chamber through a first conduit, and the reactant is converted into a gas phase pulse in the form of a gas phase pulse.
- the reactant is repeatedly supplied to the reaction chamber alternately with the gas phase pulse of the reactant, and reacts with the surface of the substrate to form a thin film compound on the substrate.
- Inert gas is supplied to the first conduit through the second conduit connected to the first conduit between the gas phase pulses of the reactants, thereby allowing the reactant source to pass through the first conduit through the first conduit.
- a vapor-phase barrier is formed for the flow of the vapor-phase reactant leading to, and high-speed switching of the raw material is performed without using the vapor-phase barrier (for example, see Patent Document 4).

- the pipe 85 is provided with a flow restrictor 87, a second valve 89, a storage container 91, and a first valve 88 from the upstream to the downstream.
- the piping 85 and the bypass line 86 are evacuated by the pump 90 from the processing chamber 1 side, and the first valve 88 and the second valve 89 provided in the piping 85 must be open. if, at the adjusted flow rate by the flow rate restrictor 8 7 provided on the pipe 8 5, ozone 0 3 it is mainly made to the flow so that the process chamber 1 side. If you do not introduce ozone 0 3 into the processing chamber 1, closes the first valve 8 8.
- the storage container 9 when a certain constant pressure of ozone Ru is introduced, ozone 0 3 flows to the bypass line 8 6 side is exhausted through the ozone killer 8 3.
- the introduction of ozone 3 into the processing chamber 1 is performed by opening the first valve 88 and closing the second valve 89.
- the flow rate from the flow restrictor 87 and the flow from the ozone generator 82 can be adjusted to eliminate the need for the second valve 89.
- the storage container 91 may be constituted by piping.
- a first pipe 94 for leading out water is inserted into the water container 92.
- the water container 92 is connected to the system instead of the ozone generator 82.
- Vaporized from the first pipe 94 according to vapor pressure Introduce moisture into the system.
- an inert gas such as He may flow as a carrier gas from the second pipe 93 in FIG. 16 (a).
- publishing may be performed by inserting the second pipe 93 into the water in the container 92.
- Liquid materials include metal-ligand complex precursors in which the ligand is an alkyl, alkoxide, halogen, hydrogen, amide, imide, azide ion, nitrate, cyclopentene dienyl, kyruponil, And a composition selected from the group consisting of their fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen substituted analogs.
- the reaction gas may be water, oxygen, or ammonia, but sometimes radicals or ions that have been activated in some way.
- reaction is used for the reaction gas, but it does not actually react with the “raw material”.
- a substance that gives energy to the self-decomposition reaction of the “raw material” may be used.
- raw materials include TMA (A 1 (CH 3 ) 3: trimethylaluminum) and TD EAH f (H f (N (C 2 H 5 ) 2 ) 4 : tetrakis the Chiruami de hafnium), the "reaction gas” used ⁇ 3 (ozone), respectively, a 1 2 0 3 (alumina) or H f 0 2 (Hough Nia: depositing a hafnium oxide).
- the pressure in the processing chamber is 100 to 1 Pa.
- the temperature of the Si wafer is used in the range of 150 to 500 ° C. depending on the difference in the self-decomposition temperature of the source gas. For example, for TM A and TD EAH f, use 200-400 ° C.
- a cycle consisting of four steps of material introduction, purging, reaction gas introduction and purging is repeatedly formed.
- the time for each step is from 0.1 second to several seconds.
- the film thickness per cycle is about 0.7 to 2 A depending on the wafer temperature.
- This cycle is repeated to form a thin film having a predetermined thickness. For example, when using the A l 2 0 3 and H f ⁇ 2 as a gate insulating film and Capacity evening insulating film is 1. 5 to 5 0 A film formation is repeated several to several tens of cycles.
- ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION when processing a board
