Description


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Technical Field


[0002] The present invention relates to a vaporizer and a vaporizing method, which is preferably used for a deposition device such as a MOCVD, as well as a deposition device and other various devices.


[0003] 2. Background Art


[0004] The development of DRAM causes a problem concerning memory capacitance depending on microfabrication. Some measures for the problem about the memory capacitance is necessary because the degree of performance of the capacitance is required to be the same as former generation in view of software errors. As the measure for the above-described problem, a capacitor area has been increased as follows. A planar structure has been taken as the cell structure up to 1 M capacity, however, the three-dimensional structure called a stack structure or a trench structure has been taken as the cell structure for 4 M or above. Moreover, as a dielectric film, a film which laminates an oxidation film from the heat oxidation film of a substrate Si and a CVD nitride film (the laminated film is called an ON film in general) on poly Si is adopted. The fin types utilizing the back side of a plate, a cubic type using the side in stack type were taken in order to increase area to contribute to capacity 16 MDRAM.


[0005] However, deterioration of yield by increase of process number by complicated process and increase of difference in steps is brought into question by such a three-dimensional structure, and it is assumed that realization after 256 M bit is difficult. Therefore, as one way to further increase a degree of integration without changing the structure of the present DRAM, a method to shift a dielectric for a capacitance to the one having a higher dielectric constant is devised. Thus, at first, thin films of paraelectric oxides of single metals with high dielectric constant such as Ta2O5, Y2O3, HfO2 attract the attention. As for each ratio dielectric constant, Ta2O5 is 28, Y2O3 is 16, HfO2 is around 24, and is 4 to 7 times of SiO2.


[0006] However, in an application after 256 MDRAM, three-dimensional capacitor structure is required. (BaxSr1-x)TiO3, Pb(ZryTi1-y)O3, (PbaL1-a)(ZrbTi1-b)O3 are regarded as promising materials which have the higher relative dielectric constant than the above-described oxides and can be expected to apply to the DRAM.


[0007] Moreover, recently, a layered structure of Bi group which has a very similar crystal structure to the one of a super conductive material greatly attracts the attention because it has a high dielectric constant, has a self polarization of a ferroelectric's characteristic, and is superior as a nonvolatile memory.


[0008] Generally, the thin film formation of SrBi2TaO9 ferroelectric is done by MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition) method—the practical and promising method.


[0009] The raw material of the ferroelectric thin film includes, for instance, three kinds of organometallic complex Sr(DPM)2, Bi(C6H5)3, Ta(OC2H5)5, melt respectively in THF (Tetorahidorofran), hexane, and other solvents, and used as a raw material solution. Sr(Ta(OEt)6)2 and Bi(OtAm)3 can be melted in hexane and other solvents, and used as a raw material solution.


[0010] Note that DPM is an abbreviation of bis(diphenylphosphino)methane.


[0011] Table 1 shows each material characteristic.
1TABLE 1Characteristics of raw material for a ferroelectric thin filmBoiling point ( ° C. )/Meltingpressure(mmHg)point (° C.)Sr(DPM)2231/0.1210Bi(C6H5)3130/0.180Ta(OC2H5)5118/0.122THF67−109Sr(Ta(OEt)6)2176/0.1130Bi(OtAm)3 87/0.190


[0012] A device to be used for the MOCVD method consists of a reaction part in which the SrBi2TaO9 thin film material is deposited after a phase reaction and a surface reaction, and a supply part which supplies the SrBi2TaO9 thin film material and an oxidizer to the reaction part.


[0013] Moreover, the supply part is provided with a vaporizer for vaporizing the thin film material.


[0014] Respective methods shown in FIG. 16 are known, so far, as a technology concerning the vaporizer. The one shown in FIG. 16(a) is called a metal filter type and it is a method that introduces and vaporizes the raw material solution heated to a prescribed temperature into a metal filter used to increase the contact area between an atmospheric gas and the raw material solution of the SrBi2TaO9 ferroelectric thin film.


[0015] However, in this technology, the metal filter is clogged by the vaporization for several hours, so there is a problem that it cannot bear the long-term use. The present inventor guessed that it is because the solution is heated and vaporized from the one having a low vaporization temperature.


[0016]
FIG. 16(b) shows a technology that the raw material solution is discharged from a small hole of 10 μm by applying the pressure of 30 kgf/cm2 to it and vaporized by the expansion.


[0017] However, the problem of clogging the small hole by the use for several hours, and not enduring a long-term use is also observed in this technology.


[0018] Moreover, the problem that a steady raw material supply cannot be achieved to a reaction is caused, because the solvent with the highest vapor pressure (in the following case, THF) evaporates promptly and an organometallic complex deposits and adheres on the heating face, when the raw material solution is a mixture solution of organometallic complexes, for instance, Sr(DPM)2/THF, Bi(C6H5)3/THF and Ta(OC2H5)5/THF, and this mixture solution is evaporated by heating. As for all these methods shown in FIG. 1, the calorie which could vaporize or alter the solvent in the liquid or mist state turns up to be added.


[0019] In addition, in MOCVD, to obtain an excellent film uniformly, a vaporization gas in which the raw material solution is dispersed uniformly is required to be obtained. However, in the prior art, such request is not necessarily complied with.


[0020] The present inventor offers, separately, the next technology so that the request may be complied with.


[0021] That is, as shown in FIG. 15, a vaporizer for MOCVD, comprises:


[0022] {circle over (1)} a dispersion part including a gas passage formed internally, a gas inlet to introduce a pressurized career gas into the gas passage, a means to supply the raw material solution to the gas passage, a gas outlet to send the career gas including the raw material solution to the vaporization part, a means to cool the gas passage, and a radiant heat prevention jet part cooled so that thermal energy should not be applied to the raw material gas in the dispersion part by the radiant heat from the vaporization part; and


[0023] {circle over (2)} a vaporization part for heating and vaporizing the career gas including the raw material solution, sent from the dispersion part, the vaporization part comprising a vaporization tube whose one end is connected to a reaction tube of the MOCVD device and the other end is connected to said gas outlet, and a heating means to heat the vaporization tube.


[0024] Thereby, the vaporizer is composed in such a manner that thermal energy should not be applied to the raw material gas in the dispersion part by the radiant heat from the vaporization part.


[0025] Since the vaporizer for MOCVD of this technology is little clogged, it enables to use a long term and to stably supply material to the reaction part compared with the prior art.


[0026] Moreover, as for this technology, an inlet of the oxygen heated beforehand has been installed downstream the vaporization part.


[0027] However, even by using this technology, the deposition of the crystal might still be observed in the gas passage to cause clogging.


[0028] Moreover, a large amount of carbon (30 to 40 at %) is included in the formed film. It is necessary to anneal at the high temperature after film deposition (example: oxygen atmosphere of 800° C. for 60 minutes) in order to remove this carbon.


[0029] In addition, when deposition is to be done, a large difference of composition ratio is caused.


[0030] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vaporizer that can be used for a long term without clogging or the like, and supply stably a raw material to a reaction part.


[0031] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vaporizer, a deposition device, other various devices, and a vaporization method that can extremely reduce the content of a carbon in the film even in the as-deposited state, and accurately control the composition ratio of the film.


[0032] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vaporizer and a vaporization method by which a vaporization gas with uniformly dispersed raw material solution can be obtained.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION


(Embodiment 1)

[0168]
FIG. 1 shows a vaporizer for MOCVD according to an embodiment 1.


[0169] This example comprises; a dispersion part 8 including a gas passage 2 formed in the interior of a dispersion main body 1 constituting the dispersion part, a gas inlet 4 to introduce a pressurized career gas 3 into the gas passage 2, a means (a raw material supply hole) 6 to supply a raw material solution 5 to the carrier gas passing through the gas passage 2 and atomize the raw material solution 5, a gas outlet 7 to send the career gas (raw material gas) including the atomized raw material solution 5 to a vaporization part 22, and a means (cooling water) 18 to cool the carrier gas flowing in the gas passage 2; and the vaporization part 22 for heating and vaporizing the career gas, where the raw material solution is dispersed, sent from the dispersion part 8, the vaporization part comprising a vaporization tube 20 whose one end is connected to a reaction pipe of the MOCVD device, and the other end is connected to the gas outlet 7 of the dispersion part 8, and a heating means (heater) 21 to heat the vaporization tube 20, wherein a radiation prevention part 102 having a small hole 101 is provided outside the gas outlet 7.


[0170] The embodiment is explained more in detail as follows.


[0171] In the embodiments shown in figures, the inside of main body of a dispersion part 1 is a hollow cylindrical part. A rod 10 is fit in the hollow part, and a gas passage 2 is defined by an inner wall of the main body of the dispersion part and the rod 10. In addition, the hollow part is not limited to a cylindrical shape, other shapes may be applied. A conical shape, for example, is preferable. As an angle of a round nest of a hollow part in the conical shape, it is preferable to be 0 to 45 degrees, and more preferably, to be 8 to 20 degrees. It is similar in other embodiments.


[0172] The cross sectional area of the gas passage is preferably from 0.10 to 0.5 mm2.


[0173] The processing is difficult if less than 0.10 mm2. The necessity for a large quantity of flow in career gas of the high pressure turns up to be caused to speed up the career gas when exceeding 0.5 mm2. A large-scale vacuum pump of large capacity is needed to maintain a reaction chamber under decompression (example: 1.0 Torr) when the career gas of a large quantity of flow is used. A proper quantity of flow, that is, the gas passage area of 0.10 to 0.5 mm2 is preferable to achieve an industrial practical use because it is difficult to adopt a vacuum pump that exceeds 10,000 liter/min (at 1.0 Torr) in exhaust capacity.


[0174] The gas inlet 4 is installed in one end of the gas passage 2. A career gas (for instance, N2, Ar, and He) source (not shown) is connected to the gas inlet 4.


[0175] The raw material supply hole 6 is installed on the side approximately at the middle of the dispersion main body 1 in communication with the gas passage 2, allowing to introduce the raw material solution 5 into the gas passage 2 and dispersing the raw material solution 5 to the career gas that passes through the gas passage 2 to make it the raw material gas.


[0176] The gas outlet 7 that leads to the vaporization tube 20 in the vaporization part 22 is installed in one end of the gas passage 2.


[0177] A space 11 to flow the cooling water 18 is formed in the dispersion main body 1, and the career gas which flows in the gas passage 2 is cooled by flowing the cooling water 8 in this space. Or, it may be cooled by setting up a Peltier element or the like, for instance, instead of this space. Only the solvent vaporizes in the gas passage 2 without causing the vaporization simultaneously of the solvent of the raw material solution and an organometallic complex in the gas passage 2 that is subjected to the heat influence by the heater 21 of the vaporization part 22. There, the solvent is prevented from being vaporized solely by cooling the career gas, in which the raw material solution is dispersed, flowing in the gas passage 2. Especially, cooling of the downstream side of the raw material supply hole 6 is important, and at least the downstream side of the raw material supply hole 6 is cooled. The cooling temperature is a temperature below the boiling point of the solvent. For instance, it is 67° C. or less for THF. Especially, the temperature in the gas outlet 7 is important.


[0178] In this embodiment, in addition, the radiation prevention part 102 that has a small hole 101 outside the gas outlet 7 is installed. The numeral 103,104 represent seal materials such as an O ring. This radiation prevention part 102 may be composed, for instance, of teflon, stainless steel, ceramic, etc. In addition, it is preferable to make of a material excellent in heat conduction. According to the finding of the present inventor, the gas in gas passage 2 is overheated, in the prior art, by the heat in the vaporization part, as the radiant heat through the gas outlet 7. Therefore, the low melting point elements in the gas deposit in the vicinity of the gas outlet 7 even if it is cooled with cooling water 18.


[0179] The radiation prevention part is a member to prevent this radiant heat from spreading to the gas. Therefore, it is preferable to reduce the cross sectional area of the small hole 101 less than that of gas passage 2. Reduction of ½ or less is preferable and ⅓ or less is more preferable.


[0180] In addition, it is preferable to miniaturize a small hole. In particular it is preferable to miniaturize it to a dimension where gas velocity to jet out becomes a subsonic velocity.


[0181] Moreover, it is preferable that the length of the small hole is 5 times or more than the dimension of the small hole, and more preferably, the length is 10 times or more than the small hole's dimension.


[0182] Moreover, blockage in the gas passage (especially, gas outlet) with a carbide is never caused even for the long term use, by cooling the dispersion part.


[0183] The dispersion main body 1 is connected to the vaporization tube 20 on the downstream side of the dispersion main body 1. The connection between the dispersion main body 1 and the vaporization tube 20 is done with a joint 24, and this part is a connection part 23.


[0184]
FIG. 2 shows the general view. The vaporization part 22 is composed of the vaporization tube 20 and the heating means 21 (heater). The heater 21 is a heater to heat and vaporize the career gas in which the raw material solution is dispersed that flows in the vaporization tube 20. Though, in the prior art, the heater 21 has been composed by sticking a cylindrical heater or a mantle heater on the outer periphery of the vaporization tube 20. This was adopted because the method of using a liquid or gas with large thermal capacity as heat medium is the most excellent in order to heat to obtain an uniform temperature in the longitudinal direction of the vaporization tube.


[0185] It is preferable to use stainless steels such as SUS316L for instance as the vaporization tube 20. The size of the vaporization tube 20 only may be decided conveniently to such a length that the temperature of the vaporization gas is heated sufficiently. For instance, when SrBi2Ta2O9 raw material solution 0.04 ccm is vaporized, it may be used the one of ¾ inches in outer diameter and several hundred mm in length.


[0186] Though the downstream side edge of the vaporization tube 20 is connected to a reaction tube of the MOCVD device, in this embodiment an oxygen supply port 25 is installed in the vaporization tube 20 as an oxygen supply means, allowing to mix the oxygen heated to a prescribed temperature into the career gas.


[0187] First of all, supplying the raw material solution to the vaporizer shall be described.


[0188] Reserve tanks 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d are connected to the raw material supply port 6 respectively through mass flow controllers 30a, 30b, 30c, and 30d, and valves 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d as shown in FIG. 3.


[0189] Moreover, each of reserve tanks 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d is connected to a career gas canister 33.


[0190]
FIG. 4 shows the details of the reserve tank.


[0191] The reserve tank is filled with the raw material solution and for instance, 1.0 to 3.0 kgf/cm2 of the career gas (for instance, inert gas Ar, He, Ne) is send to the respective reservoir tank (an inner capacity 300 cc, made by SUS ). The raw material solution is pushed up in the tube on the side contacting with the solution, because the interior of the reservoir tank is pressurized by the carrier gas, and transferred under pressure to a mass flow controller (made by STEC, full-scale flow 0.2 cc/min), a flowing quantity is controlled here, and it is transported from a raw material supply port 29 of the vaporizer to the raw material supply hole 6.


[0192] It is transported to a reaction part by career gas controlled to a constant flowing quantity in the mass flow controller. At the same time, oxygen (oxidant) which is controlled to a fixed flowing quantity in a mass flow controller (made by STEC, full-scale flow 2 L/min) is also transported to the reaction part.


[0193] The raw material solution deposits an organometallic complex by the vaporization of THF solvent and becomes finally solid when left as it is, because a liquid or a solid organometallic complex has been dissolved in solvent such as THF at the normal temperature. Therefore, it is assumed as a result that the interior of a piping that comes in contact with a stock solution to cause the blockage or others of the piping by this. Therefore, it is thought that it only has to wash the interior of the piping and the interior of the vaporizer with THF or other solvents after the deposition work end to control the blockage of the piping, and to install a washing line. Washing is exerted over a part from the container outlet side to the vaporizer including the raw material container exchange work, and flushes the part which suits each work with the solvent.


[0194] Valves 31b, 31c, and 31d were opened, and the career gas was fed forcefully into the reserve tank 32b, 32c, and 32d. As for the raw material solution, it is fed forcefully to the mass flow controller (made by STEC full-scale flowing quantity 0.2 cc/min), a flowing quantity is controlled here, and the solution raw material is transported to the raw material supply hole 6 of the vaporizer.


[0195] On the other hand, the career gas was introduced from the gas inlet of the vaporizer. It is preferable to set the maximum pressure on the supply port side to 3 kgf/cm2 or less, and the maximum flowing quantity which can be passed at this time is about 1200 cc/min, and the passage flow velocity of the gas passage 2 reaches one hundred and tens m/sec.


[0196] When the raw material solution is introduced from the raw material supply hole 6 into the career gas flowing in the gas passage 2 of the vaporizer, the raw material solution is shorn by a high speed flow of the carrier gas, and atomized into ultrafine particle. As a result, the raw material solution is dispersed in the career gas in the state of ultrafine particle. The career gas (raw material gas) in which the raw material solution is dispersed in the state of ultrafine particle is atomized, keeping the high-speed, into the vaporization part 22 and discharged. An angle which the gas passage and the raw material supply hole form is optimized. When a career passage and a raw material solution inlet form an acute angle (30 degrees), the solution is attracted by the gas. If it is 90 degrees or more, the solution is pushed by the gas. The best angle is decided, from the viscosity and the flowing quantity of the solution. The solution flows smoothly by making it more acute when the viscosity and the flowing quantity are large. When the SBT film is formed by using hexane for the solvent, about 84 degrees are preferable because both the viscosity and the flowing quantity are small.


[0197] Three kinds of raw material solutions controlled to a constant flowing quantity flow into the gas passage 2 from the raw material supply hole 6 through each raw material supply port 29, move in the gas passage with the career gas which became a high-speed current of air, before being discharged into the vaporization part 22. For the dispersion part 8 also, as the raw material solution is heated by heat from the vaporization part 22 and the vaporization of the solvent such as THF is promoted, the part from the raw material supply port 29 to the raw material supply hole 6 and the part of gas passage 2 are cooled with a cooling medium such as water.


[0198] The raw material solution dispersed in the state of fine particle in the career gas discharged from dispersion part 8 becomes a mixture gas by mixing the oxygen heated at a prescribed temperature from the oxygen supply port 25 installed immediately before reaching a reaction tube of MOCVD, the vaporize being promoted while transporting inside the vaporization tube 20 heated by a heater 21 to a prescribed temperature, and flows in a reaction tube. In this embodiment, it is evaluated by analyzing the reactive mode of the vaporization gas in place of deposition.


[0199] A vacuum pump (not shown) was connected from an exhaust port 42, impurities such as moisture in a reaction tube 44 were removed by the decompression operation for about 20 minutes, and a valve 40 downstream the exhaust port was shut.


[0200] The cooling water was flowed into the vaporizer by about 400 cc/min. On the other hand, the career gas of 3 kgf/cm2 was flowed by 495 cc/min, the interior of the reaction tube 44 was filled enough with the career gas, and thereafter, the valve 40 was opened. The temperature at the gas outlet 7 was lower than 67° C.


[0201] The inside of the vaporization tube 20 was heated to 200° C., the part from the reaction tube 44 to a gas pack 46 and the gas pack to 100° C., and the inside of the reaction tube 44 from 300 to 600° C.


[0202] The reserve tank was pressurized with the career gas therein, and a prescribed liquid was flowed by the mass flow controller.


[0203] Sr(DPM)2, Bi(C6H5)3, Ta(OC2H5)5, and THF were flowed respectively by the flowing quantity of 0.04 cc/min, 0.08 cc/min, 0.08 cc/min, and 0.2 cc/min.


[0204] Twenty minutes later, the valve just before the gas pack 46 was opened, the reaction product was collected in the gas pack 46 and it was examined whether the detected product and the product in the reaction formula that has been examined based on the reaction theory agree, through analysis by the gas chromatograph. As a result, the detected product and the product in the reaction expression that had been examined based on the reaction theory agreed well in this example.


[0205] Moreover, the amount of adhesion of the carbide on the outer surface of the gas outlet 7 side was measured. As a result, the amount of adhesion of the carbide was very low, and was still less than the case with a device shown in FIG. 14.


[0206] It is general that the raw material solution becomes a liquid/liquid state (complete solvent liquid) with metals becoming complex, in case of mixture or dissolution of metals becoming a film raw into the solvent to obtain a raw material solution. However, the present inventor elaborately examined the raw material solution, and found that the metal complex does not necessarily come to separate molecular state but, in some cases, the metal complex might exist in the solvent as particle of the size of 1 to 100 nm, and in some cases, the metal complex might exist partially as solid/liquid state. It is thought that clogging during the vaporization is especially caused easily when the raw material solution is in such a state; however, the clogging is not caused even for a raw material solution is such a state, in case of using a vaporizer of the present invention.


[0207] Moreover, the fine particle subsides easily by gravity to the bottom in a solution where the raw material solution subsists. Then, it is desirable to cause convection and uniform dispersion of fine particle in the preservation solution by heating the bottom (below the vaporization point of the solvent to the last) in respect of clogging prevention. Moreover, it is more preferable to heat the bottom and to cool the side on the container top. Of course, they shall be heated at the temperature below the vaporization temperature of the solvent.


[0208] Further, it is preferable that the heater sets or controls the amount of the heat so that the heat amount of the upper part of the vaporizing tube becomes more than the one of the down stream part. In other words, since the gas cooled by water is jetted out from the dispersion part, it is preferable to provide a heater which sets or controls the quantity of heat to be more in the upper part of the vaporizing tube and less in the lower part of it.

[0209]
FIG. 5 shows the vaporizer for MOCVD according to the embodiment 2.


[0210] In this embodiment, a cooling water passage 106 was formed around the outer periphery of the radiation prevention part 102, and cooling means 50 was installed around the outer periphery of a connection part 23, and radiation prevention part 102 was cooled.


[0211] Moreover, a hollow 107 was installed around the outlet of the small hole 101.


[0212] Other respects were made similar to the embodiment 1.


[0213] In this embodiment, the detected product agrees with the product in the reaction formula that had been examined based on the reaction theory better than that of the embodiment 1.


[0214] Moreover, the amount of adhesion of the carbide was about ⅓ times of the case of the embodiment 1, as the result of the measurement of the amount of adhesion of the carbide of on the outer surface on the gas outlet 7 side of the dispersion main body 1.



(Embodiment 3)

[0215]
FIG. 6 shows the vaporizer for MOCVD according to the embodiment 3.


[0216] In this embodiment, taper 51 is installed in radiation prevention part 102. Dead zone in the concerned part disappears because of this taper 51, and the stagnation of raw material can be prevented.


[0217] Other respects were made similar to the embodiment 2.


[0218] In this embodiment, the detected product agrees with the product in the reaction formula that had been examined based on the reaction theory better than that of the embodiment 2.


[0219] Moreover, the amount of adhesion of the carbide was almost null, as the result of the measurement of the amount of adhesion of the carbide of on the outer surface on the gas outlet 7 side of the dispersion main body 1.



(Embodiment 4)

[0220]
FIG. 7 shows the modification embodiment referring to the gas passage.


[0221] The groove 70 is formed on the surface of a rod 10, and the outer diameter of rod 10 is made substantially the same as the inner diameter of the hole perforated in the inside of the dispersion main body 1 in FIG. 7(a). Therefore, the rod 10 can be disposed in the hole without deviation only by setting the rod 10 in the hole. Moreover, a screw etc. need not be used. This groove 70 becomes the gas passage.


[0222] Note that a plurality of grooves 70 may be formed in parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the rod 10 or spirally on the surface of the rod 10. Spiral grooves can make a raw material gas more uniform.


[0223]
FIG. 7(b) is an example of installing the mixture part in the tip part of the rod 10. The largest diameter of the tip part is made almost the same as the diameter of the hole perforated in the interior of the dispersion main body 1. The space formed by the tip part of the rod and the inner face of the hole becomes a gas passage.


[0224] Obviously, the gas passage may be formed by using the rod of a circular cross section as a rod and installing a concave portion in the hole, though the example shown in (a) and (b) is an example of executing the processing to the surface of the rod 10. It is preferable to set up the rod with about H7×h6 to JS7 provided by JIS for instance.



(Embodiment 5)

[0225] The embodiment 5 shall be described based on FIG. 8.


[0226] The vaporizer for MOCVD of this embodiment has a dispersion part 8 including a gas passage formed internally, a gas inlet 4 to introduce a pressurized career gas 3 into the gas passage, a means to supply the raw material solution 5a, 5b to the gas passage, and a gas outlet 7 to send the career gas including the raw material solution 5a, 5b to the vaporization part 22; and a vaporization part 22 for heating and vaporizing the career gas including the raw material solution, sent from the dispersion part 8, the vaporization part 22 comprising; a vaporization tube 20 whose one end is connected to a reaction part of the MOCVD unit, and the other end is connected to the gas outlet 7, and a heating means to heat the vaporization tube 20, wherein the dispersion part 8 comprises a dispersion main body 1 having a cylindrical hollow part and a rod 10 having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical hollow part, the rod 10 has one or more spiral groove(s) 60 on the vaporizer 22 side of the outer periphery of the rod, and the rod 10 is inserted in the cylindrical hollow part, and a radiation prevention part 101 having a small hole 101 and an inner diameter expanding in taper towards the vaporizer 22 side is installed outside the gas outlet 7.


[0227] When the raw material solution 5 is supplied to the gas passage where high-speed career gas 3 flows, the raw material solution is shorn and atomized. That is, the raw material solution that is liquid is shorn by the high speed flow of the career gas, and made into particle. The raw material solution made into particle is dispersed in the career gas in the state of particle. This respect is similar to the embodiment 1.


[0228] The following conditions are preferable to execute shearing and atomization optimally.


[0229] It is preferable to supply raw material solution 5 by 0.005 to 2 cc/min, preferably by 0.005 to 0.02 c/min, and more preferably by 0.1 to 0.3 cc/min. When two or more raw material solutions (containing solvent) are supplied at the same time, it concerns their total amount.


[0230] Moreover, it is preferable to supply the career gas at the speed of 10 to 200 m/sec, and 100 to 200 m/sec is more preferable.


[0231] Obviously, the flowing quantity of the raw material solution and the flowing quantity of the career gas are correlated, and the passage sectional area and shape shall be selected for the best achievement of shearing and atomization so that ultrafine particle mist be obtained.


[0232] In this embodiment, spiral grooves 60 are formed around the outer periphery of the rod 10 and gap space exists between the dispersion main body 1 and the rod 10; consequently, the career gas including the raw material solution that became the atomized state goes straight in this gap space as a straightly advancing flow, and at the same time, forms a rotating flow along the spiral groove 60.


[0233] Thus, the present inventor found that the raw material solution atomized in a state where the straightly advancing flow and the rotating flow are concomitant is uniformly dispersed in the career gas. The reason why a uniform dispersion can be realized when the straightly advancing flow and the rotating flow are concomitant is not necessarily clear; however it can be supposed as follows. By the existence of the rotating flow, the centrifugal force works on the flow, and the secondary flows are caused. The mixture of the raw material and the career gas is promoted by these secondary flows. That is, a secondary derivation flow is caused by the centrifugal effect of the rotating flow in a perpendicular direction to the flow, and, as a result, it seems that the atomized raw material solution is dispersed more uniformly in the career gas.


[0234] Now, this embodiment shall de described more in detail as follows.


[0235] In this embodiment, it is composed to supply four kinds of raw material solutions 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d (5a, 5b, and 5c are organometallic raw materials and 5d is a solvent raw material such as THF) to the gas passage as one example.


[0236] In order to mix the career gas (called, “raw material gas”) including the raw material solution that became respectively mist and ultrafine particle, a part without spiral groove is installed in the downstream of the portion corresponding to the raw material supply hole 6 of the rod 10, in this embodiment. This portion becomes a pre-mixing part 65. In the pre-mixing part 65, the raw material gases of three kinds of organic metals are mixed to some degree, and, in addition, becomes a complete mixture raw material gas in an area of helical structure in the downstream thereof. As for the length of this mixing part 65, 5 to 20 mm is preferable, and 8 to 15 mm is more preferable to obtain a uniform mixture raw material gas. Outside this range, a mixture raw material gas in which only one kind of the three organometallic raw material gasses is denser than two other organometallic raw material gasses might be sent to the vaporization part 22.


[0237] In this embodiment, a parallel part 67 and a taper part 58 are installed at an edge 66 on the upstream side of the rod 10. The cylinder hollow part of the dispersion main body 1 is provided with a parallel part having the same inner diameter as the outer diameter of the parallel part 67 of the rod 10, and a taper part that is the same taper as the taper of the rod 10 corresponding to the parallel part 67 and the taper part 58. Therefore, if the rod 10 is inserted from the top left side on the drawing, the rod 10 is maintained in the hollow part of the dispersion main body 1.


[0238] Different from the embodiment 1, even if a career gas of a higher pressure than 3 kgf/cm2 is used, the rod 10 can prevent from being moved, because the taper is provided to hold the rod 10, in this embodiment. That is, if the maintenance technology shown in FIG. 8 is adopted, the career gas can be flowed at a pressure of 3 kg/cm2 or higher. As a result, it becomes possible to reduce the sectional area of the gas passage, and supply a higher speed career gas with a small amount of gas. That is, the supply of a high-speed career gas at 50 to 300 mm/sec becomes possible, too. If this maintenance technology is adopted, it is similar also for the aforementioned other embodiments.


[0239] The grooves 67a, 67b, 67c, and 67d are formed as a passage of the career gas, in a portion corresponding to the raw material supply hole 6 of the rod 10, as shown in FIG. 9(b). 0.005 to 0.1 mm is preferable as the depth of each groove 67a, 67b, 67c and 67. Molding of the groove becomes difficult if less than 0.005 mm. Moreover, 0.01 to 0.05 is more preferable. The clogging or other is not generated by making it within this range. Moreover, it is easy to obtain a high-speed flow.


[0240] The composition shown in FIG. 1 for the embodiment 1 and other compositions may be adopted for the maintenance of the rod 10 and the formation of the gas passage.


[0241] The number of spiral groove 60 may be single as shown in FIG. 9(a) but it may also be two or more as shown in FIG. 10. Moreover, they may be crossed when two or more spiral grooves are formed. The raw material gas dispersed more uniformly is obtained when they are crossed. However, a cross sectional area of each groove is set to allow the gas flow velocity to be 10 m/sec or more.


[0242] The size and shape of the spiral groove are not especially limited, and the size and shape shown in FIG. 9(c) are raised as one example.


[0243] In this embodiment, the gas passage is cooled with cooling water 18 as shown in FIG. 8.


[0244] Moreover, an expansion part 69 is independently installed in this side of the entrance of dispersion part 22 in this embodiment, and a longitudinal radiation prevention part 102 is arranged in this expansion part. A small hole 101 is formed on the gas outlet 7 side of the radiation prevention part, and its inner diameter spreads out in the taper-shape toward the vaporizer side.


[0245] This expansion part 69 is also a portion to prevent the stay of the raw material gas described for the embodiment 3. Of course, the expansion part 69 need not be independently installed, and an integrated composition as shown in FIG. 6 may also be adopted.


[0246] An angle of from 5 to 10 degrees is preferable as the expansion angle θ for the expansion part 69. The raw material gas can be supplied to the dispersion part without destroying the rotating flow when θ is in this range. Moreover, when θ is within this range, the fluid drag by the expansion is minimized, the existence of dead is minimized, and the existence of vortex by the existence of the dead zone can be minimized. Note that the angle of from 6 to 7 degrees is more preferable as θ. The range of preferable θ is similar also in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6.



(Embodiment 6)

[0247] The raw material solution and the career gas were supplied under the following conditions, using the device shown in FIG. 8, and the uniformity in the raw material gas was examined.


[0248] Amount of introduced raw material solution: Sr(DPM)20.04 cc/min


[0249] Bi(C6H5)3 0.08 cc/min


[0250] Ta(OC2H5)5 0.08 cc/min


[0251] THF 0.2 cc/min


[0252] Career gas: Nitrogen gas


[0253] 10˜350 m/s


[0254] The device shown in FIG. 8 was used as the vaporization device. However, the rod where a spiral groove was not formed as shown in FIG. 9 was used as a rod.


[0255] The raw material solution is supplied from the raw material supply hole 6, while the career gas is changed in speed variously. The groove 67a was supplied with Sr(DPM)2, groove 67b with Bi(C6H5)3, groove 67c with Ta(OC2H5)5 and groove 67d with solvent such as THF respectively from the raw material supply hole.


[0256] Heating in the vaporization part was not executed, the raw material gas was collected at the gas outlet 7, and the particle diameter of the raw material solution was measured in the collected raw material gas.


[0257] The results are shown in FIG. 11 as relative values (the case with a device according to an example of the prior art shown in FIG. 12(a) is set to be 1). The dispersion particle diameter becomes smaller by setting the flow velocity to 50 m/sec or more as understood from FIG. 11, and the dispersion particle diameter becomes still smaller by setting the flow velocity to 100 m/sec or more. However, the dispersion particle diameter is saturated even if set to 200 m/sec or more. Therefore, 100 to 200 m/sec is a more preferable range.



(Embodiment 7)

[0258] In this embodiment, a rod where a spiral groove had been formed was used as a rod.


[0259] Other respects were the same as the embodiment 6.


[0260] The density of the raw material solution that had been supplied to the groove was high in the groove extension part, in the embodiment 6. That is, respectively the density of one raw material solution was higher than others in each extension part of the groove through it came; the density of Sr(DPM)2 was higher than that of the others in the extension part of the groove 67a, Bi(C6H5)3 in the extension part of the groove 67b and Ta(OC2H5)5 in the extension part of the groove 67c.


[0261] However, in this embodiment, each organometallic raw material of the mixture raw material gas that had been obtained on the edge of a spiral groove was uniform in any part.



(Embodiment 8)

[0262]
FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show the embodiment 8.


[0263] Oxygen had been introduced only downstream the vaporization part 22 as shown in FIG. 2 in the prior art. As described in the column of the prior art, a large amount of carbon is contained in the film formed by the prior art. Moreover, there was a difference between the composition allocation in the raw material and the composition allocation in the deposited film. That is, when the raw material was adjusted to the composition ratio of the stoichiometric mixture ratio, vaporized, and deposited, the actually deposited film turned out a composition film deviated from the stoichiometric mixture ratio. Especially, a phenomenon that bismuth is hardly included (about 0.1 at %) was observed.


[0264] The present inventor found the cause thereof relating to the position where oxygen was introduced. That is, it has understood that, if oxygen is introduced from the gas inlet 4, a secondary oxygen supply port 200 nearest the jet port, and the oxygen inlet 25 (first oxygen supply port) with the career gas as shown in FIG. 20, the difference of composition ratio between the composition in the formed film and the composition in the raw material solution can be extremely minimized.


[0265] The career gas and oxygen may be mixed beforehand, and their mixed gas may be introduced from the gas inlet 4.



(Embodiment 9)

[0266] The SBT film was formed by a vaporizer shown in FIG. 19 and 20, and a CVD device shown in FIG. 21, and then the polarization characteristic and others were evaluated.


[0267] More concretely, the vaporizer condition and the reaction chamber condition were controlled as follows, and the SBT thin film was formed on a substrate that applied platinum 200nm on an oxidized silicon substrate body.


[0268] Concrete conditions:


[0269] Hexaethoxy strontium tantalum Sr[Ta(OC2H5)6]2 0.1 mole solution


[0270] (Solvent: Hexane) 0.02 ml/min


[0271] Tori- t-amyloxide bismuth Bi(O-t-C5H11)30.2 mole solution (Solvent: Hexane)


[0272] 0.02 ml/min

[0274] First career O2=10 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 4)


[0275] Second career Ar=20 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 200)


[0276] Second career O2=10 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 200)


[0277] Reactant oxygen O2=200 sccm (introduced into lower part 25 of the dispersion jet part)


[0278] Reactant oxygen temperature 216° C. (control the temperature by a separately installed heater before introducing from the lower part of the dispersion jet part)


[0279] Wafer temperature 475° C.


[0280] Space temperature 299° C.


[0281] Space distance 30 mm


[0282] Temperature of shower head 201° C.


[0283] Reaction pressure 1 Torr


[0284] Deposition time 20 minutes


[0285] As a result, SBT film thickness about 300 nm (depositing speed about 150 nm/min)
2SBT compositionSr 5.4 at %Bi16.4 at %Ta13.1 at %O61.4 at %C 3.5 at %


[0286] The difference of the composition ratio between the composition in the formed film and the composition in the raw material solution was small, and the depositing speed became about five times as fast as that of the prior art. It can be said that it is extremely effective to introduce a small amount of oxygen from the gas inlet 4 with the career gas. The content of the carbon is low as 3.5 at %.


[0287] A large effect of controlling re-condensation/ sublimation (solidification) of the vaporized organometallic compound was confirmed by the fact that the dirt disappeared from lower part of the vaporization tube, because the temperature of the reactant oxygen 200 cc/min was accurately controlled (at 216° C.) by a separately installed heater before the reactant oxygen was introduced from the lower part of the dispersion jet part.


[0288] After the SBT thin film had been formed, it was put under the crystallization process at 750° C. for 30 minutes under the oxygen atmosphere to form an upper electrode, and then excellent crystallization and polarization characteristics were found by the measurement and the evaluation. This is shown in FIG. 17 and 18.


[0289] As shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable to control the amount of oxygen appropriately by introducing oxygen simultaneously to the downstream of the vaporization part in order to reduce the difference of the composition ratio, and to decrease the carbon content, provided that oxidizing gas such as oxygen is introduced from the gas inlet 4 or the primary oxygen supply port closest to the jet port.


[0290] The content of carbon in the formed film can be decreased by 5 to 20% compared to the prior art.


[0291] The SBT thin film deposition process shall be described by using FIG. 20.


[0292] The valve 2 is opened, the valve 1 is shut, and a few minutes after the reaction chamber is drawn to the high vacuum, the wafer is transferred from the loading lock chamber to the reaction chamber. At this moment, Hexaethoxy strontium tantalum Sr[Ta(OC2H5)6]2 0.1 mole solution (Solvent: Hexane) 0.02 ml/min Tori- t-amyloxide bismuth Bi(O-t-C5H11)3 0.2 mole solution (Solvent: Hexane) 0.02ml/min First career Ar=200 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 4) First career O2=10 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 4) flow into the vaporizer, and are drawn to the vacuum pump via the valve 2 and the automatic pressure regulating valve.


[0293] The pressure gauge is controlled by the automatic pressure regulating valve to 4 Torr, at this time.


[0294] A few minutes after the wafer is transferred, if the temperature is steady, the following gas flows into the reaction chamber thereof the valve 1 opened and the valve 2 shut to start depositing. Hexaethoxy strontium tantalum Sr[Ta(OC2H5)6]2 0.1 mole solution (Solvent: Hexane) 0.02 ml/min Tori- t-amyloxide bismuth Bi(O-t-C5H11)30.2 mole solution (Solvent: Hexane) 0.02 ml/min First career Ar=200 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 4) First career O2=10 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 4) Second career Ar=20 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 200) O2=10 sccm (introduced into the gas inlet 200) Reactant oxygen O2=200 sccm (introduced into the lower part 25 of the dispersion jet part) Reactant oxygen temperature 216° C. (control the temperature by a separately installed heater before introducing from the lower part of the dispersion jet part) Wafer temperature 475° C. The pressure of the reaction chamber is controlled at 1 Torr (by an automatic pressure regulating valve not shown). When a required time (in this case 20 minutes) has passed, the valve 2 is opened and the valve 1 is shut to terminate the deposition. One minute after the gas in the reaction chamber is drawn to a high vacuum to remove the reactant gas completely, the wafer is taken out to the loading lock chamber.

[0302] Conventionally, since the reaction oxygen (example, 200 sccm) was put in the vaporizing tube in a room temperature, the organic metal gas was cooled, adhered and accumulated to the vaporizing tube.


[0303] Conventionally, when temperature control of the reaction oxygen supplied from a lower part of the vaporizing part was conducted, the temperature of an external wall of a stainless pipe was controlled (example: 219° C.) by winding up the heater to the outside of the stainless steel pipe (¼ inches in external form, 10 to 100 cm in length).


[0304] It was thought that the temperature of the external wall of the stainless steel pipe (example: 219° C.) was the temperature of the oxygen flowing inside the pipe (quantity of flow 200 sccm).


[0305] However, in the above mentioned example, it was found that the temperature went up to about only 35° C. when measured by a minute thermocouple.


[0306] Therefore, the temperature of the oxygen was precisely controlled by directly measuring the temperature of the oxygen after the heating with a minute thermocouple and by controlling the temperature of the heater.


[0307] It was not easy to raise the gas such as oxygen flowing through the pipe, so filler was put in a heating pipe to improve efficiency of heat exchange. Moreover, the temperature of the heated oxygen gas was measured, and the temperature of heater was appropriately controlled. The heat exchanger shown in the FIG. 20 is the means for the control.



(Embodiment 10)

[0308] Embodiment 10 is shown in FIG. 14.


[0309] The aforementioned embodiment is a device in which the single raw material solution is atomized by spraying the gas on each of it, and then, the atomized raw material solution was mixed. However, the present embodiment is a device in which a plurality of the raw material solution is mixed and, next, the mixed raw material solution is atomized.


[0310] This embodiment has; a disperser 150, having; a plurality of solution passages 130a, 130b for supplying raw material solution 5a, 5b, a mixture part 109 for mixing a plurality of raw material solutions 5a, 5b supplied from a plurality of solution passages 130a, 130b, a supply passage 110 of which one end communicates with the mixture part 109 and has an outlet 107 of the vaporization part 22 side, a gas passage 120 arranged to spray the career gas or the mixed gas of the career gas and oxygen to the mixture raw material solution from the mixture part 109, in the supply passage 110, and a cooling means to cool the supply passage 110; and a vaporizer, having; a radiation prevention part 102 having a small hole 101 outside the gas outlet 107, and the vaporizer having; a vaporization part 22 for heating and vaporizing the career gas including the raw material solution, sent from the disperser 150, a vaporization tube whose one end is connected to a reaction pipe of a MOCVD unit, and the other end is connected to the outlet 107 of the disperser 150, and a heating means 2 to heat the vaporization tube.


[0311] The present embodiment is effective for the raw material solution whose reaction does not progress even mixed. Moreover, since the raw material solution is atomized after mixed, it has more accurate composition ratio than the case where the solution is mixed after it is atomized. Further, if a means to analyze the composition of the raw material solution (not shown) in the mixture part 109 is provided and the amount of supply of the raw material solution 5a, 5b is controlled based on the result of the analysis, the more accurate composition ratio can be obtained.


[0312] In addition, because it is not necessary to use the rod (10 of FIG. 1 ) in this embodiment, the heat that transmitted with the rod does not heat the inside of the supply passage 110. Moreover, a cross sectional area of the supply passage 110 can be smaller than that of the case where the material solution is mixed after atomization. In addition, since the cross sectional area of the outlet 107 can be smaller, the inside of the supply passage 110 is hardly heated up due to radiation. Therefore, precipitation of a crystal can be reduced without disposing a radiation prevention portion 102. However, the radiation prevention portion 102 may be arranged as shown in FIG. 14 when the further prevention of the precipitation of the crystal or the like is desired.


[0313] Here, though an embodiment having a single small hole is shown in the above embodiment, of course, the plural holes may be adopted. In addition, the small hole of a diameter of 2 mm or less is preferable. If the device provides a plurality of small holes, it is also possible to make their diameter smaller.


[0314] Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, the raw material solution is pulled by the gas when an angle between a carrier flow passage and the material solution introduction is an acute angle (30 degrees). The solution is pushed by the gas when the angle is 90 degrees or more. Therefore, 30 to 90 degrees are preferable. More concretely, the most suitable angle is determined by the solution's viscosity and quantity of flow. When the viscosity or the quantity of the flow is large, the solution smoothly flows by making it more acute angle. Therefore, the most suitable angle matching to the viscosity and the quantity of the flow should be obtained by an experiment and so on before the practice.


[0315] In addition, in the above embodiment, it is preferable to provide a mechanism to control a distance of space between a shower head and a susceptor on an arbitrary distance.


[0316] Furthermore, it is desirable to provide a liquid mass flow controller to control the quantity of flow of the raw material solution and to provide a degasifying means for degasifying it on the upstream side of the liquid mass flow controller. If the material solution is introduced into the mass flow controller without degasifying, dispersions of the deposited films are caused on the same wafer or between the other wafers. Dispersion of the film thickness will be remarkably reduced by introducing the raw material solution into the mass flow controller after helium is degasified.


[0317] It is possible to further prevent the dispersion of the film thickness by providing a means to control the temperature of the material solution, a helium pressure-feed container, the liquid mass flow controller and piping in front and back to be in constant temperature. Moreover, a change in quality of the raw material solution which is chemically unstable can be also prevented. When a thin film of SBT is formed, the deposition is precisely controlled within a range of 5 to 20° C. In particular, the range between 11 to 13° C. is desirable.


[0318] In addition, in the substrate surface treatment device in which predetermined gas is sprayed on the substrate surface of the silicon substrate shown in FIG. 22, 23 to conduct a surface treatment for the substrate surface, such device is desirable that has and configures an upstream ring 301 connected to a heat medium entrance 320 for flowing through a heat medium, a downstream ring 302 connected to a heat medium outlet 321 of the predetermined heat medium, and, at least, two heat transmission passages 303a, 303b which is connected in a parallel direction to between the upstream ring 1 and downstream ring 2 each other and form a passage of the heat medium, and a flow passage directions from the upstream ring 1 to downstream ring 302 between adjacent the heat transmission passage 303a, 303b being alternated and a heat medium circulation passage desirable to make the gas to a specified temperature.


[0319] Moreover, it is preferable that the substrate surface treatment device is in a prescribed plane in the heat medium circulation passage, has a heat conversion board 304 which is thermally connected to the heat medium circulation passage in a plane formed with the flow passage of the heat medium in the parallel direction, and is able to heat the plane of the heat conversion board 304 to the substantially uniform temperature by the heat medium.


[0320] Furthermore, it is preferable that the substrate surface treatment device is in a predetermined plane in the heat medium circulation passage, has the heat conversion board 304 which is thermally connected to the heat medium circulation passage in the plane formed with the flow passage of the heat medium in the parallel direction, and is able to heat the plane of the heat conversion board 304 to the substantially uniform temperature by the heat medium.


[0321] In addition, in the plane of the heat conversion board 304, it is preferable that a plurality of intercommunication small holes which pass the predetermined gas to the vertical direction of the plane is formed, and the predetermined gas passing the intercommunication small hole can be heated in substantially uniform temperature in the plane.


[0322] Thus, a direction of the flow passage from the upstream ring to the downstream ring between heat transmission passages adjacent to the heat medium circulation passage can be configured so as to flow in turn. Thus, the difference in temperature of the domain that is next to a heat transmission passage is configured in high/low/high/low. By such configuration, it is possible to uniformly heat or cool down the heat conversion board. In addition, the configuration also has the heat conversion board which is thermally connected to the heat circulation passage in the plane formed with the flow passage of the heat medium in the parallel direction thereto. Thus, it becomes possible to heat the plane of the heat conversion board in the substantially uniform temperature by the heat medium.
