20120247949 | FILM FORMING METHOD, RESPUTTERING METHOD, AND FILM FORMING APPARATUS - A film forming method includes depositing a metal thin film on a target substrate by generating an inductively coupled plasma in a processing chamber while introducing a plasma generating gas in the processing chamber with the substrate disposed on a placing table, by supplying DC power to a metal target from a DC power source, and by applying high-frequency bias to the placing table. A resputtering method includes resputtering the deposited metal thin film by stopping the generating of the inductively coupled plasma, by stopping the power supply from the DC power source, and by applying the high-frequency bias to the placing table while introducing the plasma generating gas in the processing chamber to form a capacitively coupled plasma in the processing chamber and by attracting ions of the plasma generating gas to the target substrate where the metal thin film is deposited. | 10-04-2012 |
20130203250 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes: modifying a surface of a burying recess, of which surface is hydrophobic and which is formed in a dielectric film, to a hydrophilic state by supplying a plasma containing H ions and H radicals or a plasma containing NHx (x being 1, 2 or 3) ions and NHx radicals to the dielectric film formed on a substrate and containing silicon, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, a bottom portion of the burying recess being exposed with a lower conductive layer; and directly forming an adhesion film formed of a Ru film on the hydrophilic surface of the recess. The method further includes burying copper forming a conductive path in the recess. | 08-08-2013 |
20130252417 | THIN FILM FORMING METHOD - A thin film forming method in which a thin film is formed on a surface of a target object to be processed to fill a recess formed in the surface of the target object includes the steps of forming a metal layer for filling on the surface of the target object to fill the recess formed in the surface of the target object and forming a metal film for preventing diffusion on an entire surface of the target object to cover the metal layer for filling. The thin film forming method further includes the step of annealing the target object having the metal film for preventing diffusion formed thereon. | 09-26-2013 |
20140287163 | METHOD OF FORMING COPPER WIRING AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING COPPER FILM - A method of forming a Cu wiring in a trench or hole formed in a substrate is provided. The method includes forming a barrier film on the surface of the trench or hole, forming a Ru film on the barrier film, and embedding Cu in the trench or hole by forming a Cu film on the Ru film using PVD while annealing the substrate such that migration of copper into the trench or hole occurs. | 09-25-2014 |
20150240344 | RUTHENIUM FILM FORMING METHOD, RUTHENIUM FILM FORMING APPARATUS, AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - A ruthenium film forming method includes: placing a target substrate in a processing container; supplying ruthenium carbonyl gas together with CO gas as a carrier gas into the processing container, the ruthenium carbonyl gas being generated from solid-state ruthenium carbonyl; supplying additional CO gas into the processing container; and forming a ruthenium film on the target substrate by decomposing the ruthenium carbonyl gas. | 08-27-2015 |
20150262872 | METHOD OF FORMING COPPER WIRING - A method of forming a copper wiring buried in a recess portion of a predetermined pattern formed in an interlayer insulation layer of a substrate is disclosed. The method includes: forming a manganese oxide film at least on a surface of the recess portion, the manganese oxide film serving as a self-aligned barrier film through reaction with the interlayer insulation layer; performing hydrogen radical treatment with respect to a surface of the manganese oxide film; placing a metal more active than ruthenium on the surface of the manganese oxide film after the hydrogen radical treatment; forming a ruthenium film on the surface where the metal more active than ruthenium is present; and forming a copper film on the ruthenium film by physical vapor deposition (PVD) to bury the copper film in the recess portion. | 09-17-2015 |
20150325432 | FILM FORMING METHOD, FILM FORMING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A film forming method in which in a state in which a target substrate is loaded on a loading table body of a loading table installed in a processing container and an interior of the processing container is evacuated, a film forming material gas is supplied into the processing container while heating the target substrate with a heater installed in the loading table body, to be thermally decomposed or reacted on a surface of the target substrate to form a predetermined film on the target substrate, includes introducing a heat transfer gas containing an H | 11-12-2015 |
20150332961 | Cu Wiring Fabrication Method and Storage Medium - Cu wiring fabrication method for fabricating Cu wiring with respect to substrate having interlayer dielectric film having trench formed thereon, includes: forming barrier film on surface of the trench; forming Ru film on surface of the barrier film by CVD; burying the trench by forming Cu film or Cu alloy film on the Ru film; forming Cu film or Cu alloy film at corners of bottom of the trench while re-sputtering the formed Cu film or Cu alloy film in a condition where first formed Cu film or Cu alloy film re-sputtered by an ion action of the plasma generation gas; and subsequently burying the Cu film or the Cu alloy film in the trench in condition where the Cu film or the Cu alloy film is formed on field portion of the substrate, and reflows in the trench by an ion action of the plasma generation gas. | 11-19-2015 |
