As a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device by using the above-described substrate processing apparatus, an example of a method of processing a substrate, that is, a processing sequence for selectively forming a film on a second surface among a first surface and the second surface of a wafer 200 as a substrate, will be described mainly with reference to
The surface of the wafer 200 includes the first surface and the second surface. An example in which the first surface includes an oxygen-containing film (first base) and the second surface includes an oxygen-free film (second base) will be described below. Further, as a typical example, a case where the oxygen-containing film is a silicon oxide film (SiO2 film, hereinafter also referred to as a SiO film) and the oxygen-free film is a silicon nitride film (Si3N4 film, hereinafter also referred to as a SiN film) will be described below.

When the term “wafer” is used in the present disclosure, it may refer to “a wafer itself” or “a stacked body of a wafer and certain layers or films formed on a surface of the wafer.” When the phrase “a surface of a wafer” is used in the present disclosure, it may refer to “a surface of a wafer itself” or “a surface of a certain layer formed on a wafer.” When an expression “a certain layer is formed on a wafer” is used in the present disclosure, it may mean that “a certain layer is formed directly on a surface of a wafer itself” or that “a certain layer is formed on a layer formed on a wafer.” When the term “substrate” is used in the present disclosure, it may be synonymous with the term “wafer.”
The term “agent” used in the present disclosure includes at least one selected from the group of a gaseous substance and a liquefied substance. The liquefied substance includes a misty substance. That is, each of the modifying agent and the film-forming agent (precursor, reactant, or catalyst) may include a gaseous substance, a liquefied substance such as a misty substance, or both of them.
The term “layer” used in the present disclosure includes at least one selected from the group of a continuous layer and a discontinuous layer. For example, an inhibitor layer may include a continuous layer, a discontinuous layer, or both of them as long as it is possible to cause a film-forming inhibitory action.
After the boat 217 is charged with a plurality of wafers 200 (wafer charging), the shutter 219s is moved by the shutter opening/closing equipment 115s and the lower end opening of the manifold 209 is opened (shutter opening). Thereafter, as shown in
As shown in
After the boat loading is completed, the interior of the process chamber 201, that is, a space where the wafers 200 are placed, is vacuum-exhausted (decompression-exhausted) by the vacuum pump 246 to reach a desired pressure (state of vacuum). At this time, the internal pressure of the process chamber 201 is measured by the pressure sensor 245, and the APC valve 244 is feedback-controlled based on the measured pressure information. Further, the wafers 200 in the process chamber 201 are heated by the heater 207 to reach a desired processing temperature. At this time, the state of supplying electric power to the heater 207 is feedback-controlled based on the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor 263 such that the interior of the process chamber 201 reaches a desired temperature distribution. Further, the rotation of the wafers 200 by the rotator 267 is started. The exhaust of the interior of the process chamber 201 and the heating and rotation of the wafers 200 are continuously performed at least until the processing on the wafers 200 is completed.
After that, a cleaning agent is supplied to the wafer 200.
Specifically, the valve 243e is opened to allow the cleaning agent to flow through the gas supply pipe 232e. A flow rate of the cleaning agent is regulated by the MFC 241e, and the cleaning agent is supplied into the process chamber 201 via the gas supply pipe 232b and the nozzle 249b and is exhausted via the exhaust port 231a. In this operation, the cleaning agent is supplied to the wafer 200 from the side of the wafer 200 (cleaning agent supply). At this time, the valves 243f to 243h may be opened to allow an inert gas to be supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249a to 249c, respectively.
By supplying the cleaning agent to the wafer 200 under process conditions to be described later, the native oxide film formed on the second surface of the wafer 200 may be removed (etched) to expose the second surface, as shown in
A process condition when supplying the cleaning agent in the cleaning step is exemplified as follows:
In the present disclosure, a notation of a numerical range such as “50 to 200 degrees C.” means that the lower limit value and the upper limit value are included in the range. Therefore, for example, “50 to 200 degrees C.” means “50 degrees C. or higher and 200 degrees C. or lower.” The same applies to other numerical ranges. In the present disclosure, the processing temperature means the temperature of the wafer 200 or the internal temperature of the process chamber 201, and the processing pressure means the internal pressure of the process chamber 201. Further, the processing time means the time during which the processing is continued. Further, when 0 slm is included in the supply flow rate, 0 slm means a case where no substance (gas) is supplied. These apply equally to the following description.
After removing the native oxide film from the second surface to expose the second surface, the valve 243e is closed to stop the supply of the cleaning agent into the process chamber 201. Then, the interior of the process chamber 201 is vacuum-exhausted to remove a gaseous substance and the like remaining in the process chamber 201 from the interior of the process chamber 201. At this time, the valves 243f to 243h are opened to allow an inert gas to be supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249a to 249c. The inert gas supplied from the nozzles 249a to 249c acts as a purge gas, whereby the interior of the process chamber 201 is purged (purging).
A process condition when performing a purging in the cleaning step is exemplified as follows:
The processing temperature when performing a purging in this step may be the same as the processing temperature when supplying the cleaning agent.
As the cleaning agent, for example, a fluorine (F)-containing gas may be used. As the F-containing gas, for example, a chlorine trifluoride (ClF3) gas, a chlorine fluoride (ClF) gas, a nitrogen fluoride (NF3) gas, a hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas, a fluorine (F2) gas, or the like may be used. As the cleaning agent, for example, an acetic acid (CH3COOH) gas, a formic acid (HCOOH) gas, a hexafluoroacetylacetone (C5H2F6O2) gas, a hydrogen (H2) gas, or the like may be used. Various cleaning liquids may also be used as the cleaning agent. For example, an acetic acid aqueous solution, a formic acid aqueous solution, or the like may be used as the cleaning agent. Alternatively, for example, DHF cleaning may be performed by using a HF aqueous solution as the cleaning agent. Further, for example, SC-1 cleaning (APM cleaning) may be performed by using a cleaning liquid containing ammonia water, hydrogen peroxide water, and pure water as the cleaning agent. Alternatively, for example, SC-2 cleaning (HPM cleaning) may be performed by using a cleaning liquid containing hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide water, and pure water as the cleaning agent. Alternatively, for example, SPM cleaning may be performed by using a cleaning liquid containing sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide water as the cleaning agent. That is, the cleaning agent may be a gaseous substance or a liquefied substance. Further, the cleaning agent may be a liquefied substance such as a misty substance. One or more selected from the group of these may be used as the cleaning agent.
As the inert gas, a nitrogen (N2) gas or a rare gas such as an argon (Ar) gas, a helium (He) gas, a neon (Ne) gas, or a xenon (Xe) gas may be used. One or more selected from the group of these gases may be used as the inert gas. This point also applies to each step to be described later.
When using the wafer 200 in which the native oxide film formed on the surface of the wafer 200 is removed in advance and the state of the wafer 200 is maintained, the cleaning step may be omitted. In that case, a modifying step, which will be described later, is performed after regulating the pressure and temperature.
After performing the cleaning step, a modifying agent is applied to the wafer 200.
Specifically, the valve 243a is opened to allow the modifying agent to flow through the gas supply pipe 232a. A flow rate of the modifying agent is regulated by the MFC 241a, and the modifying agent is supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzle 249a and is exhausted via the exhaust port 231a. In this operation, the modifying agent is supplied to the wafer 200 from the side of the wafer 200 (modifying agent supply). At this time, the valves 243f to 243h may be opened to allow an inert gas to be supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249a to 249c, respectively.
By supplying the modifying agent to the wafer 200 under a process condition to be described later, as shown in
The inhibitor layer formed in this step contains the inhibitor molecules that are residues derived from the modifying agent. The inhibitor layer prevents a precursor (film-forming agent) from being adsorbed on the first surface to inhibit (suppress) progress of a film-forming reaction on the first surface in a film-forming step to be described later.
An example of the inhibitor molecules may include a trialkylsilyl group such as a trimethylsilyl group (—SiMe3) or a triethylsilyl group (—SiEt3). The trialkylsilyl group include an alkyl group, that is, a hydrocarbon group. In these cases, Si of the trimethylsilyl group or the triethylsilyl group is adsorbed on an adsorption site on the first surface of the wafer 200. When the first surface is the surface of a SiO film, the first surface contains an OH termination (OH group) as the adsorption site, and Si of the trimethylsilyl group or the triethylsilyl group is bonded to O of the OH termination (OH group) on the first surface, such that the first surface is terminated with an alkyl group such as a methyl group or an ethyl group, that is, with a hydrocarbon group. The alkyl group (alkylsilyl group) such as the methyl group (trimethylsilyl group) or the ethyl group (triethylsilyl group), that is, the hydrocarbon group, which terminates the first surface, constitutes the inhibitor layer and may prevent the precursor (film-forming agent) from being adsorbed on the first surface to inhibit (suppress) the progress of the film-forming reaction on the first surface in the film-forming step to be described later.
In this step, the inhibitor molecules may be adsorbed on at least a portion of the second surface of the wafer 200, but an amount of adsorption thereof is very small, and an amount of adsorption on the first surface of the wafer 200 is overwhelmingly large. Such selective (preferential) adsorption is possible because the process condition in this step is a condition that the modifying agent does not undergo gas phase decomposition in the process chamber 201. This is also possible because the first surface is OH-terminated over its entire region, whereas many regions of the second surface are not OH-terminated. In this step, since the modifying agent does not undergo the gas phase decomposition in the process chamber 201, the inhibitor molecules are not multiple-deposited on the first surface and the second surface, and the inhibitor molecules are selectively adsorbed on the first surface among the first surface and the second surface, whereby the first surface is selectively terminated by the inhibitor molecules.
A process condition when supplying the modifying agent in the modifying step is exemplified as follows:
After selectively forming the inhibitor layer on the first surface of the wafer 200, the valve 243a is closed to stop the supply of the modifying agent into the process chamber 201. Then, a gaseous substance and the like remaining in the interior of the process chamber 201 are removed from the interior of the process chamber 201 (purging) according to the same processing procedure and process condition as the purging in the cleaning step. Further, the processing temperature when performing a purging in this step may be the same as the processing temperature when supplying the modifying agent.
As the modifying agent, for example, a compound with a structure in which an amino group is directly bonded to silicon (Si) or a compound with a structure in which an amino group and an alkyl group are directly bonded to silicon (Si) may be used.
Examples of the modifying agent may include (dimethylamino)silane ((CH3)2NSiH3), (diethylamino)silane ((C2H5)2NSiH3), (dipropylamino)silane ((C3H7)2NSiH3), (dibutylamino)silane ((C4H9)2NSiH3), (dimethylamino)trimethylsilane ((CH3)2NSi(CH3)3), (diethylamino)triethylsilane ((C2H5)2NSi(C2H5)3), (dimethylamino)triethylsilane ((CH3)2NSi (C2H5)3), (diethylamino)trimethylsilane ((C2H5)2NSi(CH3)3), (dipropylamino)trimethylsilane ((C3H7)2NSi(CH3)3), (dibutylamino)trimethylsilane ((C4H9)2NSi(CH3)3), (trimethylsilyl)amine ((CH3)3SiNH2), (triethylsilyl)amine ((C2H5)3SiNH2), and the like. One or more selected from the group of these may be used as the modifying agent.
Further, examples of the modifying agent may include bis(dimethylamino)dimethylsilane ([(CH3)2N]2Si(CH3)2), bis(diethylamino)diethylsilane ([(C2H5)2N]2Si(C2H5)2), bis(dimethylamino)diethylsilane ([(CH3)2N]2Si(C2H5)2), bis(diethylamino)dimethylsilane ([(C2H5)2N]2Si(CH3)2), bis(dimethylamino)silane ([(CH3)2N]2SiH2), bis(diethylamino)silane ([(C2H5)2N]2SiH2), bis(dimethylaminodimethylsilyl)ethane ([(CH3)2N(CH3)2Si]2C2H6), bis(dipropylamino)silane ([(C3H7)2N]2SiH2), bis(dibutylamino)silane ([(C4H9)2N]2SiH2), bis(dipropylamino)dimethylsilane ([(C3H7)2N]2Si(CH3)2), bis(dipropylamino)diethylsilane ((C3H7)2N]2Si(C2H5)2), (dimethylsilyl)diamine ((CH3)2Si(NH2)2), (diethylsilyl)diamine ((C2H5)2Si(NH2)2), (dipropylsilyl)diamine ((C3H7)2Si(NH2)2), bis(dimethylaminodimethylsilyl)methane ([(CH3)2N(CH3)2Si]2CH2), bis(dimethylamino)tetramethyldisilane ([(CH3)2N]2(CH3)4Si2), and the like. One or more selected from the group of these may be used as the modifying agent.
After performing the modifying step, a film-forming agent is supplied to the wafer 200 to form a film on the second surface of the wafer 200. That is, the film-forming agent that reacts with the second surface is supplied to the wafer 200 to selectively (preferentially) form a film on the second surface. Specifically, the following precursor supplying step and reactant supplying step are sequentially performed. In the following example, as described above, the film-forming agent includes a precursor, a reactant, and a catalyst. In the precursor supplying step and the reactant supplying step, the output of the heater 207 is regulated such that the temperature of the wafer 200 is kept equal to or less than the temperature of the wafer 200 in the cleaning step and the modifying step, specifically, as shown in
In this step, as a film-forming agent, a precursor (precursor gas) and a catalyst (catalyst gas) are supplied to the wafer 200 subjected to the modifying step, that is, the wafer 200 with the inhibitor layer selectively formed on the first surface.
Specifically, the valves 243b and 243d are opened to allow the precursor and the catalyst to flow through the gas supply pipes 232b and 232d, respectively. Flow rates of the precursor and the catalyst are regulated by the MFCs 241b and 241d, respectively, and the precursor and the catalyst are supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249b and 249a, respectively, are mixed in the process chamber 201, and are exhausted via the exhaust port 231a. In this operation, the precursor and the catalyst are supplied to the wafer 200 from the side of the wafer 200 (precursor+catalyst supply). At this time, the valves 243f to 243h may be opened to allow an inert gas to be supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249a to 249c, respectively.
By supplying the precursor and the catalyst to the wafer 200 under the process condition to be described later, it is possible to selectively chemisorb at least a portion of a molecular structure of molecules constituting the precursor on the second surface while suppressing at least a portion of the molecular structure of the molecules constituting the precursor from being chemisorbed on the first surface. As a result, a first layer is selectively formed on the second surface. The first layer contains at least a portion of the molecular structure of the molecules constituting the precursor, which are residues of the precursor. That is, the first layer contains at least a portion of atoms constituting the precursor.
In this step, by supplying the catalyst together with the precursor, the above-mentioned reaction may proceed in a non-plasma atmosphere and under a low-temperature condition as will be described later. In this way, by forming the first layer in the non-plasma atmosphere and under the low-temperature condition as will be described later, it is possible to maintain molecules and atoms constituting the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface without extinguishing (desorbing) the molecules and atoms from the first surface.
Further, by forming the first layer in the non-plasma atmosphere and under the low-temperature condition as will be described later, the precursor may be prevented from being thermally decomposed (gas phase-decomposed), that is, autolyzed, in the process chamber 201. As a result, it is possible to prevent multiple deposition of at least a portion of the molecular structure of molecules constituting the precursor on the first surface and the second surface and cause at least a portion of the molecular structure of molecules constituting the precursor to be selectively adsorbed on the second surface.
Further, in this step, at least a portion of the molecular structure of the molecules constituting the precursor may be adsorbed on a portion of the first surface of the wafer 200, but an amount of adsorption thereof is very small, and an amount of adsorption on the second surface of the wafer 200 is overwhelmingly large. Such selective (preferential) adsorption is possible because the process condition in this step is set to a low-temperature condition as will be described later and a condition that the precursor does not undergo gas phase decomposition in the process chamber 201. This is also possible because the inhibitor layer is formed over the entire region of the first surface, whereas the inhibitor layer is not formed over many regions of the second surface.
After selectively forming the first layer on the second surface of the wafer 200, the valves 243b and 243d are closed to stop the supply of the precursor and the catalyst into the process chamber 201, respectively. Then, a gaseous substance and the like remaining in the process chamber 201 are removed from the interior of the process chamber 201 (purging) according to the same processing procedure and process condition as the purging in the cleaning step. Further, the processing temperature when performing the purging in this step may be the same as the processing temperature when supplying the precursor and the catalyst.
As the precursor, for example, a Si— and halogen-containing gas (Si— and halogen-containing substance) may be used. The halogen includes chlorine (Cl), fluorine (F), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and the like. The Si— and halogen-containing gas may contain halogen in the form of a chemical bond between Si and halogen. As the Si— and halogen-containing gas, for example, a silane-based gas containing a Si—Cl bond, that is, a chlorosilane-based gas, may be used. The Si— and halogen-containing gas may further contain C, and in such a case, the Si— and halogen-containing gas may contain C in the form of a Si—C bond. As the Si— and halogen-containing gas, for example, a silane-based gas containing Si, Cl, and an alkylene group and containing a Si—C bond, that is, an alkylenechlorosilane-based gas, may be used. The alkylene group includes a methylene group, an ethylene group, a propylene group, a butylene group, and the like. Further, as the Si— and halogen-containing gas, for example, a silane-based gas containing Si, Cl, and an alkyl group and containing a Si—C bond, that is, an alkylchlorosilane-based gas may be used. The alkyl group includes a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, and the like. The Si— and halogen-containing gas may further contain O, and in such a case, the Si— and halogen-containing gas may contain O in the form of a Si—O bond, for example, in the form of a siloxane bond (Si—O—Si bond). As the Si— and halogen-containing gas, for example, a silane-based gas containing Si, Cl, and a siloxane bond, that is, a chlorosiloxane-based gas, may be used. These gases may contain Cl in the form of a Si—Cl bond. As the precursor, in addition to these, an amino group-containing gas (amino group-containing substance) such as an aminosilane-based gas may also be used.
Examples of the precursor may include tetrachlorosilane (SiCl4), hexachlorodisilane (Si2Cl6), octachlorotrisilane (Si3Cl8), and the like. Further, examples of the precursor may include hexachlorodisiloxane (Cl3Si—O—SiCl3), octachlorotrisiloxane (Cl3Si—O—SiCl2—O—SiCl3), and the like. Further, examples of the precursor may include 1,1,3,3-tetrachloro-1,3-disilacyclobutane (C2H4Cl4Si2), bis(trichlorosilyl)methane ((SiCl3)2CH2), 1,2-bis(trichloro silyl)ethane ((SiCl3)2C2H4), 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-1,2-dimethyldisilane ((CH3)2Si2Cl4), 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilane ((CH3)4Si2Cl2), and the like. One or more from the group of these may be used as the precursor.
Further, examples of the precursor may include tetrakis(dimethylamino)silane (Si[N(CH3)2]4), tris(dimethylamino)silane (Si[N(CH3)2]3H), bis(diethylamino)silane (Si[N(C2H5)2]2H2), bis(tert-butylamino)silane (SiH2[NH(C4H9)]2), (diisopropylamino)silane (SiH3[N(C3H7)2]), and the like. One or more selected from the group of these may be used as the precursor.
As the catalyst, for example, an amine-based gas (amine-based substance) containing carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and hydrogen (H) may be used. As the amine-based gas (amine-based substance), a chain amine-based gas (chain amine-based substance) or a cyclic amine-based gas (cyclic amine-based substance) may be used. Examples of the catalyst may include chain amines such as triethylamine ((C2H5)3N), diethylamine ((C2H5)2NH), monoethylamine ((C2H5)NH2), trimethylamine ((CH3)3N), dimethylamine ((CH3)2NH), and monomethylamine ((CH3)NH2). Further, examples of the catalyst may include cyclic amines such as aminopyridine (C5H6N2), pyridine (C5H5N), picoline (C6H7N), lutidine (C7H9N), pyrimidine (C4H4N2), quinoline (C9H7N), piperazine (C4HioN2), piperidine (CSHiiN), and aniline (C6H7N). One or more selected from the group of these may be used as the catalyst. This point also applies to the reactant supplying step which will be described later.
After the precursor supplying step is completed, as a film-forming agent, a reactant (reaction gas) and a catalyst (catalyst gas) are supplied to the wafer 200, that is, the wafer 200 with the first layer selectively formed on the second surface. Herein, an example of using an oxidizing agent (oxidizing gas) as the reactant (reacting gas) will be described.
Specifically, the valves 243c and 243d are opened to allow the reactant and the catalyst to flow through the gas supply pipes 232c and 232d, respectively. Flow rates of the reactant and the catalyst are regulated by the MFCs 241c and 241d, respectively, and the reactant and the catalyst are supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249c and 249a, respectively, are mixed in the process chamber 201, and are exhausted via the exhaust port 231a. In this operation, the reactant and the catalyst are supplied to the wafer 200 from the side of the wafer 200 (reactant+catalyst supply). At this time, the valves 243f to 243h may be opened to allow an inert gas to be supplied into the process chamber 201 via the nozzles 249a to 249c, respectively.
By supplying the reactant and the catalyst to the wafer 200 under the process condition to be described below, it is possible to oxidize at least a portion of the first layer formed on the second surface of the wafer 200 in the precursor supplying step. As a result, a second layer formed by oxidizing the first layer is formed on the second surface.
In this step, by supplying the catalyst together with the reactant, the above-mentioned reaction may proceed in a non-plasma atmosphere and under a low-temperature condition as will be described later. In this way, by forming the second layer in the non-plasma atmosphere and under the low-temperature condition as will be described later, it is possible to maintain the molecules and atoms constituting the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface without extinguishing (desorbing) the molecules and atoms from the first surface.
After the first layer formed on the second surface is oxidized to be changed (converted) into the second layer, the valves 243c and 243d are closed to stop the supply of the reactant and the catalyst into the process chamber 201, respectively. Then, a gaseous substance and the like remaining in the interior of the process chamber 201 are removed from the interior of the process chamber 201 (purging) according to the same processing procedure and process condition as the purging in the cleaning step. Further, the processing temperature when performing the purging in this step be the same as the processing temperature when supplying the reactant and the catalyst.
As the reactant, that is, the oxidizing agent, for example, an oxygen (O)— and hydrogen (H)-containing gas (O- and H-containing substance) may be used. Examples of the O- and H-containing gas may include water vapor (H2O gas), a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) gas, hydrogen (H2) gas+oxygen (O2) gas, H2 gas+ozone (O3) gas, and the like. That is, O-containing gas+H-containing gas may also be used as the O- and H-containing gas. In this case, as the H-containing gas, that is, a reducing gas, a deuterium (D2) gas may be used instead of the H2 gas. One or more selected from the group of these gases may be used as the reactant.
In the present disclosure, the description of two gases such as “H2 gas+O2 gas” together means a mixed gas of H2 gas and O2 gas. When supplying the mixed gas, the two gases may be mixed (pre-mixed) in a supply pipe and then supplied into the process chamber 201, or the two gases may be supplied separately from different supply pipes into the process chamber 201 and then mixed (post-mixed) in the process chamber 201.
Further, as the reactant, that is, the oxidizing agent, an O-containing gas (O-containing substance) may be used in addition to the O- and H-containing gas. Examples of the O-containing gas may include an O2 gas, an O3 gas, a nitrous oxide (N2O) gas, a nitric oxide (NO) gas, a nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas, a carbon monoxide (CO) gas, a carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, and the like. In addition to these gases, as the reactant, that is, the oxidizing agent, the above-mentioned various aqueous solutions and various cleaning liquids may also be used. In this case, an oxidation target on the surface of the wafer 200 may be oxidized by exposing the wafer 200 to the aqueous solutions or the cleaning liquids. One or more selected from the group of these gases may be used as the reactant.
As the catalyst, for example, catalysts similar to the various catalysts exemplified in the above-described precursor supplying step may be used.
By performing a cycle a predetermined number of times (n+n′ times, where each of n and n′ is an integer of 1 or 2 or more), the cycle including non-simultaneously, that is, without synchronization, alternately performing the above-described precursor supplying step and reactant supplying step under a predetermined process condition, a film may be selectively (preferentially) formed on the second surface of the wafer 200, as shown in
The above-described cycle may be performed a plurality of times. That is, a thickness of the second layer formed per cycle may be set to be smaller than a desired film thickness, and the above-described cycle may be performed a plurality of times until a thickness of a film formed by stacking second layers reaches a desired film thickness.
As described above, the film may be selectively grown on the second surface of the wafer 200 by performing the above-described cycle a predetermined number of times. At this time, since the inhibitor layer is formed on the first surface of the wafer 200, the growth of the film on the first surface may be suppressed. That is, by performing the above-described cycle a predetermined number of times, it is possible to promote the growth of the film on the second surface while suppressing the growth of the film on the first surface.
Further, when performing the precursor supplying step and the reactant supplying step, since the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface is maintained on the first surface as described above, the growth of the film on the first surface may be suppressed. However, in some cases, such as when the formation of the inhibitor layer on the first surface is insufficient due to some factor, the growth of the film on the first surface may occur very slightly. However, even in this case, the thickness of the film formed on the first surface is much thinner than the thickness of the film formed on the second surface. In the present disclosure, when a phrase “high selectivity in selective growth” is used, it may include a case where a very thin film is formed on the first surface but a much thicker film is formed on the second surface, as well as a case where no film is formed on the first surface and a film is formed on the second surface.
By the way, as described above, when the modifying step is performed, inhibitor molecules may be adsorbed on at least a portion of the second surface of the wafer 200. An amount of this adsorption is extremely small and does not interfere with the film growth on the second surface of wafer 200. However, under certain circumstances, a characteristic of the film selectively formed on the second surface of wafer 200 may be degraded. For example, in a case where a recess such as a trench or a hole is formed on the surface of the wafer 200 and the first surface and the second surface are alternately arranged on the side surface (inner side surface or inner wall) of the recess, or in a case where the first surface and the second surface are alternately arranged parallel to a flat surface of the wafer 200, that is, in a case where the first surface and the second surface are alternately arranged in the plane of the wafer 200, step coverage, wafer in-plane film thickness uniformity, surface roughness, etc. of the film selectively formed on the second surface of the wafer 200 may be degraded. The surface roughness means a height difference of a surface of a film within the wafer plane or within an arbitrary target plane, and as a value of the surface roughness becomes smaller, the surface becomes smoother, and conversely, as the value becomes larger, the surface becomes rougher. In the present disclosure, “the surface roughness is improved (favorable)” means that the height difference on the surface of the film is reduced and the smoothness is improved (favorable), and conversely, “the surface roughness is degraded” means that the height difference of the surface of the film is increased and the smoothness is degraded. A film with good surface roughness means a film with good smoothness, that is, a film with high smoothness.
The reasons why the above-described matters may occur will be described below with reference to
However, as described above, the amount of adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the second surface is very small as compared to the amount of adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the first surface. Therefore, a density of the inhibitor layer formed on the second surface of the wafer 200 is much lower than that of the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface. Further, the inhibitor molecules adsorbed on the second surface where many regions are not OH-terminated tend to be easily desorbed or deactivated as compared to the inhibitor molecules adsorbed on the first surface where the entire region is OH-terminated. For these reasons, the inhibitor layer formed on the second surface of the wafer 200 tends to be more easily removed and/or invalidated than the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface. The removal of the inhibitor layer means that the inhibitor molecules as the film-forming inhibition molecules are desorbed from the surface of a base (the first surface and the second surface of the wafer 200) and the inhibitor layer as the film-forming inhibition layer disappears from the surface of the base. Further, the invalidation of the inhibitor layer means that the function of the inhibitor molecules contained in the inhibitor layer as the film-forming inhibiting molecules is deactivated due to a change in a molecular structure, an atomic arrangement structure, etc., and the inhibitor layer formed on the surface of the base (the first surface or the second surface of the wafer 200) loses the function as the film-forming inhibition layer.
However, an amount of desorption or an amount of deactivation of the inhibitor molecules (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the amount of desorption for the sake of convenience) may vary depending on the site. For example, the amount of desorption of the inhibitor molecules may be more in a top side, less in a middle side, and even less in a bottom side of the recess formed on the surface of the wafer 200. As a result, for example, as shown in
In a case where the film-forming step is continued, at least a portion of the inhibitor molecules adsorbed on the second surface may be further desorbed or deactivated from the second surface. As a result, for example, at least a portion of the inhibitor layer formed on the second surface located in the middle side or the bottom side of the recess formed on the surface of the wafer 200 may be further removed and/or invalidated. Further, for example, at least a portion of the inhibitor layer maintained in a partial region within the plane of the second surface may be further removed and/or invalidated. Even on the second surface where the inhibitor layer is removed and/or invalidated at such a late timing, selective film growth is then initiated by continuing the film-forming step.
Even in a case where the film-forming step is continued, at least a portion of the inhibitor molecules adsorbed on the second surface may remain without being desorbed or deactivated.
For example, as shown in
In this way, when the modifying step is performed, the inhibitor layer may be formed on at least a portion of the second surface, and thereafter, even when the film-forming step is performed under a predetermined condition, a portion of the inhibitor layer formed on the second surface may be maintained without being removed and/or invalidated. As a result, for example, selective film growth may not be initiated on a portion of a plurality of second surfaces formed on the surface of the wafer 200. Further, for example, selective film growth may not be initiated in a partial region within the plane of the second surface.
Further, in a case where the film-forming step is continued under a predetermined condition, the inhibitor layer formed on the second surface may be removed and/or invalidated at different times across the plurality of second surfaces. As a result, depending on a timing of removal and/or invalidation of the inhibitor layer, the thickness of the film selectively formed on the second surface may not be uniform across the plurality of second surfaces. Further, as described above, the inhibitor layer formed on the second surface may be removed and/or invalidated at different times across the second surface. As a result, depending on a timing of removal and/or invalidation of the inhibitor layer, the thickness of the film selectively formed on the second surface may not be uniform across the plane of the second surface.
As a result, deterioration of characteristics of the film selectively formed on the second surface of the wafer 200, such as deterioration of step coverage, deterioration of wafer in-plane film thickness uniformity, and deterioration of surface roughness, may occur.
Therefore, in the film-forming step in the embodiments of the present disclosure, to solve the above-described problems, a process condition per cycle up to the n-th cycle (first process condition to be described later) is set to be different from a process condition per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle (second process condition to be described later).
For example, in the film-forming step, an amount of exposure of the reactant to the wafer 200 per cycle up to the n-th cycle is set to be larger than an amount of exposure of the reactant to the wafer 200 per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Specifically, in the film-forming step, a supply time of the reactant per cycle up to the n-th cycle is set to be longer than a supply time of the reactant per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle. Alternatively, in the film-forming step, the supply flow rate of the reactant up to the n-th cycle is set to be larger than the supply flow rate of the reactant on and after the (n+1)-th cycle. Alternatively, in the film-forming step, the supply time of the reactant per cycle up to the n-th cycle is set to be longer than the supply time of the reactant per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle, and the supply flow rate of the reactant up to the n-th cycle is set to be larger than the supply flow rate of the reactant on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, for example, in the film-forming step, an amount of exposure of the precursor to the wafer 200 per cycle up to the n-th cycle is set to be larger than an amount of exposure of the precursor to the wafer 200 per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Specifically, in the film-forming step, a supply time of the precursor per cycle up to the n-th cycle is set to be longer than a supply time of the precursor per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle. Alternatively, in the film-forming step, a supply flow rate of the precursor up to the n-th cycle is set to be larger than a supply flow rate of the precursor on and after the (n+1)-th cycle. Alternatively, in the film-forming step, the supply time of the precursor per cycle up to the n-th cycle is set to be longer than the supply time of the precursor per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle, and the supply flow rate of the precursor up to the n-th cycle is set to be larger than the supply flow rate of the precursor on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, for example, in the film-forming step, a processing pressure in the reactant supplying step up to the n-th cycle is set to be higher than a processing pressure in the reactant supplying step on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, for example, in the film-forming step, a partial pressure of the reactant in the reactant supplying step up to the n-th cycle is set to be higher than a partial pressure of the reactant in the reactant supplying step on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, for example, in the film-forming step, a processing pressure in the precursor supplying step up to the n-th cycle is set to be equal to or higher than a processing pressure in the precursor supplying step on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, for example, in the film-forming step, a partial pressure of the precursor in the precursor supplying step up to the n-th cycle is set to be equal to or higher than the partial pressure of the precursor in the precursor supplying step on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
In this way, by setting the process condition (first process condition) per cycle up to the n-th cycle to be different from the process condition (second process condition) per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle, in the film-forming step in the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to perform at least one selected from the group of removal and invalidation of the inhibitor layer formed on at least a portion of the second surface uniformly over the entire second surface until the n-th cycle. As a result, it is possible to solve the above-described matters.
An example of effects obtained by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to
As described above, the inhibitor layer formed on at least the portion of the second surface is uniformly removed and/or invalidated across the entire second surface until the n-th cycle. Therefore, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated at the same timing on the plurality of second surfaces arranged on the side surface of the recess and on the entire region of the plane of each second surface. That is, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated simultaneously at the same timing across the second surfaces arranged on the side surface of the recess and across the entire region of the plane of each second surface.
As described above, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated at the same timing on the second surfaces arranged on the side surface of the recess and on the entire region of the plane of each second surface. That is, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated simultaneously at the same timing across the second surfaces arranged on the side surface of the recess and across the entire region of the plane of each second surface. Therefore, the film formed on the second surface becomes a film covering the plurality of second surfaces arranged on the side surface of the recess and the entire region of the plane of each second surface with the same thickness. That is, the film formed on the second surface becomes a film with a uniform thickness across the second surfaces arranged on the side surface of the recess and across the entire region of the plane of each second surface. As a result, the film selectively formed on the second surface becomes a film with good step coverage and good film thickness uniformity.
Further, the film formed on the second surface becomes a film with a smooth surface as well as a uniform thickness across the entire region of the plane of the second surface. That is, the film selectively formed on the second surface becomes a film with good surface roughness.
Further, another example of effects obtained by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to
As described above, the inhibitor layer formed on at least a portion of the second surface is uniformly removed and/or invalidated across the entire second surface until the n-th cycle. Therefore, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated at the same timing on the plurality of second surfaces arranged on the surface of the wafer 200 and on the entire region of the plane of each second surface. That is, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated simultaneously at the same timing across the second surfaces arranged on the surface of the wafer 200 and across the entire region of the plane of each second surface.
As described above, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated at the same timing on the second surfaces arranged on the surface of the wafer 200 and on the entire region of the plane of each second surface. That is, the selective film growth on the second surface is initiated simultaneously at the same timing across the second surfaces arranged on the surface of the wafer 200 and across the entire region of the plane of each second surface.

As a result, the film selectively formed on the second surface becomes a film with a good wafer in-plane film thickness uniformity.
Further, the film formed on the second surface becomes a film with a smooth surface as well as a uniform thickness across the entire region of the plane of the second surface. That is, the film selectively formed on the second surface becomes a film with good surface roughness.
As described above, in the film-forming step in the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the process condition per cycle (first process conditions) up to the n-th cycle to be different from the process condition (second process condition) per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle, it is possible to improve characteristics of the film selectively formed on the second surface.
A process condition (first process condition) per cycle up to the n-th cycle of the film-forming step is exemplified as follows.
(When Supplying Precursor and Catalyst in Precursor Supplying Step)
(When Supplying Reactant and Catalyst in Reactant Supplying Step)
A process condition (second process condition) per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle of the film-forming step is exemplified as follows.

(When Supplying Reactant and Catalyst in Reactant Supplying Step)
Further, in the film-forming step, the supply time of the precursor per cycle up to the n-th cycle may be set to be longer than the supply time of the reactant per cycle up to the n-th cycle.
Further, in the film-forming step, the supply time of the reactant per cycle up to the n-th cycle may be set to be longer than the supply time of the precursor per cycle up to the n-th cycle.
Further, in the film-forming step, the processing pressure in the reactant supplying step on and after the (n+1)-th cycle may be set to be equal to or lower than the processing pressure in the precursor supplying step on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, in the film-forming step, the number of cycles up to the n-th cycle may be set to be smaller than the number of cycles on and after the (n+1)-th cycle.
Further, in the film-forming step, the number of cycles up to the n-th cycle may be set to be 1 or more and 10 or less.
In a case where the number of cycles up to the n-th cycle is set to be 11 or more, the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface may be easily removed and/or invalidated, which may decrease the selectivity. By setting the number of cycles to be 10 or less, the removal and/or invalidation of the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface may be effectively suppressed, which makes it possible to effectively suppress the decrease in selectivity. By setting the number of cycles to be 5 or less, the removal and/or invalidation of the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface may be more effectively suppressed, which makes it possible to more effectively suppress the decrease in selectivity. By setting the number of cycles to be 3 or less, the removal and/or invalidation of the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface may be even more effectively suppressed, which makes it possible to even more effectively suppress the decrease in selectivity.
After performing the film-forming step, heat treatment is performed on the wafer 200 after selectively forming the film on the second surface. At this time, an output of the heater 207 is regulated such that an internal temperature of the process chamber 201, that is, a temperature of the wafer 200 after selectively forming the film on the second surface, is set to be equal to or higher than the temperature of the wafer 200 in the cleaning step, the modifying step, and the film-forming step, specifically to be higher than the temperature of the wafer 200 in these steps.
By performing the heat treatment (annealing treatment) on the wafer 200, impurities contained in the film formed on the second surface of the wafer 200 in the film-forming step may be removed and defects in the film may be repaired, which may harden the film. By hardening the film, a processing resistance of the film, that is, an etching resistance, may be improved. In a case where for the film formed on the second surface, removal of impurities, repair of defects, hardening of the film, or the like may not be performed, the annealing treatment, that is, the heat-treating step, may be omitted.
Further, according to this step, the inhibitor layer remaining on the first surface of the wafer 200 after performing the film-forming step may be heat-treated (anneal-treated). This allows at least a portion of the inhibitor layer remaining on the first surface to be removed and/or invalidated.
As described above, by performing this step, as shown in
Further, this step may be performed in a state where an inert gas is supplied into the process chamber 201, or may be performed in a state where a reactive substance such as an oxidizing agent (oxidizing gas) is supplied into the process chamber 201. In this case, the inert gas and the reactive substance such as the oxidizing agent (oxidizing gas) are also referred to as an assist substance.
A process condition when performing the heat-treating step is exemplified as follows:
After the heat-treating step is completed, an inert gas acting as a purge gas is supplied into the process chamber 201 from each of the nozzles 249a to 249c and is exhausted via the exhaust port 231a. Thus, the interior of the process chamber 201 is purged and a gas, reaction by-products, and the like remaining in the process chamber 201 are removed from the interior of the process chamber 201 (after-purge). After that, the internal atmosphere of the process chamber 201 is substituted with an inert gas (inert gas substitution) and the internal pressure of the process chamber 201 is returned to the atmospheric pressure (returning to atmospheric pressure).
After that, the seal cap 219 is moved down by the boat elevator 115 to open the lower end of the manifold 209. Then, the processed wafers 200 supported by the boat 217 are unloaded from the lower end of the manifold 209 to the outside of the reaction tube 203 (boat unloading). After the boat unloading, the shutter 219s is moved and the lower end opening of the manifold 209 is sealed by the shutter 219s via the O-ring 220c (shutter close). The processed wafers 200 are unloaded from the reaction tube 203 and are then discharged from the boat 217 (wafer discharging).
The cleaning step, the modifying step, the film-forming step, and the heat-treating step may be performed in the same process chamber (in-situ). As a result, after the surface of the wafer 200 is cleaned by the cleaning step (after the native oxide film is removed), without exposing the wafer 200 to the atmosphere, that is, with the surface of the wafer 200 kept clean, the modifying step, the film-forming step, and the heat-treating step may be performed, which makes it possible to appropriately perform selective growth. That is, by performing these steps in the same process chamber, it is possible to perform the selective growth with high selectivity. Further, when the cleaning step may be omitted as described above, the modifying step, the film-forming step, and the heat-treating step may be performed in the same process chamber. Further, when the heat-treating step may be omitted as described above, the modifying step and the film-forming step may be performed in the same process chamber.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more effects set forth below may be achieved.
Further, in the film-forming step, by setting the process condition per cycle on and after the (n+1)-th cycle to be different from the process condition per cycle up to the n-th cycle, it is possible to form a film on the second surface while suppressing the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface from being removed and/or invalidated on and after the (n+1)-th cycle, which makes it possible to suppress a decrease in selectivity.

The processing procedure in the film formation preparing step may be the same as the processing procedure in the reactant supplying step of the above-described embodiments. The processing procedures in the precursor supplying step and the reactant supplying step of this modification may be the same as the processing procedures in the precursor supplying step and the reactant supplying step of the above-described embodiments, respectively.
A process condition in the film formation preparing step is exemplified as follows:
Supply time of each gas: 60 to 1,800 seconds, specifically 60 to 900 seconds.
As the process condition in the film-forming step, for example, the same process condition as the above-described second process condition may be used.
Also in this modification, by sequentially performing the modifying step, the film formation preparing step, and the film-forming step, it is possible to selectively (preferentially) form a film on the second surface among the first surface and the second surface of the wafer 200.
Even in this modification, an inhibitor layer may be formed on at least a portion of the second surface when performing the modifying step, which may cause occurrence of the matters described above with reference to
That is, in this modification, by performing the film formation preparing step under the above-described process condition, it is possible to remove and/or invalidate the inhibitor layer formed on at least the portion of the second surface uniformly over the entire second surface. This makes it possible to shorten the incubation time for forming a film on the second surface over the entire second surface. As a result, by performing the film-forming step, it is possible to improve the characteristics of the film formed on the second surface, such as the step coverage, in-plane film thickness uniformity, surface roughness, etc. Further, since the incubation time for forming the film on the second surface may be shortened over the entire second surface, it is possible to shorten s total processing time, thereby improving a productivity.

Further, in this modification, a processing pressure in the film formation preparing step may be set to be higher than a processing pressure in the reactant supplying step. Alternatively, a partial pressure of the reactant in the film formation preparing step may be set to be higher than a partial pressure of the reactant in the reactant supplying step. Alternatively, the processing pressure in the film formation preparing step may be set to be higher than the processing pressure in the reactant supplying step, and the partial pressure of the reactant in the film formation preparing step may be set to be higher than the partial pressure of the reactant in the reactant supplying step.

This makes it possible to effectively shorten the incubation time for forming a film on the second surface over the entire second surface and to effectively improve the characteristics of the film formed on the second surface by performing the film-forming step, such as the step coverage, wafer in-plane film thickness uniformity, surface roughness, etc. Further, since the incubation time for forming the film on the second surface may be effectively shortened over the entire second surface, it is possible to effectively shorten the total processing time, thereby effectively improving the productivity.
In these cases, in the film-forming step, by setting the processing pressure in the reactant supplying step to be lower than the processing pressure in the film formation preparing step, it is possible to form a film on the second surface while effectively suppressing the inhibitor layer formed on the first surface from being removed and/or invalidated, which makes it possible to effectively suppress a decrease in selectivity.
The embodiments of the present disclosure are specifically described above. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes may be made without departing from the gist thereof.
For example, the wafer 200 may include at least one selected from the group of an oxygen-containing film and a metal-containing film as a first surface, and may include at least one selected from the group of an oxygen-free film and a metal-free film as a second surface. Further, for example, the wafer 200 may include a plurality of types of regions made of different materials as the first surface, and may include a plurality of types of regions made of different materials as the second surface. The region (bases) constituting the first surface and the second surface may include, in addition to the above-mentioned SiO film and SiN film, films containing semiconductor elements, such as a silicon oxycarbonitride film (SiOCN film), a silicon oxycarbide film (SiOC film), a silicon oxynitride film (SiON film), a silicon carbonitride film (SiCN film), a silicon carbide film (SiC film), a silicon borocarbonitride film (SiBCN film), a silicon boronitride film (SiBN film), a silicon borocarbide film (SiBC film), a silicon film (Si film), a germanium film (Ge film), and a silicon germanium film (SiGe film), films containing metal elements, such as a titanium nitride film (TiN film), a tungsten film (W film), a molybdenum film (Mo film), a ruthenium film (Ru film), a cobalt film (Co film), a nickel film (Ni film), and a copper film (Cu film), an amorphous carbon film (a-C film), a single crystal Si (Si wafer), etc. Any region (base) may be used as the first surface as long as it is a region (base) on which an inhibitor layer may be formed. On the other hand, any region (base) may be used as the second surface as long as it is a region (base) on which an inhibitor layer is difficult to be formed. Also in these embodiments, the same effects as the above-described embodiments may be obtained.

Moreover, at the beginning of each process, the CPU 121a may properly select an appropriate recipe from the recipes stored in the memory 121c according to the processing contents. Thus, it is possible for a single substrate processing apparatus to form films of various kinds, composition ratios, qualities, and thicknesses with enhanced reproducibility. Further, it is possible to reduce an operator's burden and to quickly start each process while avoiding an operation error.
The recipes mentioned above are not limited to newly-provided ones but may be provided, for example, by modifying existing recipes that are already installed in the substrate processing apparatus. When the recipes are modified, the modified recipes may be installed in the substrate processing apparatus via a telecommunication line or a recording medium storing the recipes. In addition, the existing recipes already installed in the existing substrate processing apparatus may be directly modified by operating the input/output device 122 of the substrate processing apparatus.
Examples in which a film is formed by using a batch-type substrate processing apparatus capable of processing a plurality of substrates at a time are described in the above-described embodiments. The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be suitably applied, for example, to a case where a film is formed by using a single-wafer type substrate processing apparatus capable of processing a single substrate or several substrates at a time. In addition, examples in which a film is formed by using a substrate processing apparatus provided with a hot-wall-type process furnace are described in the above-described embodiments. The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be suitably applied to a case where a film is formed by using a substrate processing apparatus provided with a cold-wall-type process furnace.
Even in the case of using these substrate processing apparatuses, each process may be performed according to the same processing procedures and process condition as those in the above-described embodiments and modifications, and the same effects as the above-described embodiments and modifications are achieved.
The above-described embodiments and modifications may be used in proper combination. The processing procedures and process conditions used in this case may be the same as, for example, the processing procedures and process conditions in the above-described embodiments and modifications.
