Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for fabricating a PE-SiON thin film is provided to prevent an abnormal reaction of NH3 gas and to remarkably reduce particles generated in forming the PE-SiON thin film, by making SiH4 gas not bypassed and by simultaneously making the SiH4 gas and the other reaction gas like N2, NH3 and N2O flow to the inside of a chamber before radio frequency(RF) power turns on. CONSTITUTION: A plurality of reaction gas like SiH4, N2, NH3 and N2O flows to the inside of the chamber at the same time without bypassing the SiH4 gas. The PE-SiON thin film is deposited in the chamber by turning on the RF power. The RF power turns on three seconds after the plurality of reaction gas starts to flow.

An intercepting unit(42) controls the flow rate of the predetermined gas to the chamber, installed on the connection pipe. A controller controls driving of the throttle valve, the vacuum pump and the intercepting unit through a measured signal of the sensor.
