Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that in the case of directly forming an HDP-CVD oxide film on a metal wire for a semiconductor element, the metal wire is oxidized, and when the oxidation of the metal wire is prevented by a Si 3 N 4 film, wiring resistance may be increased. SOLUTION: In an HDP-CVD oxide film forming sequence, Ar gas is led into a reaction room and then source power (RF power) is applied to excite plasma. Then, carrier gas (He) is led into the reaction room. After heating a substrate by plasma of the Ar gas and the He gas, the leading of the Ar gas is stopped, SiH 4 gas and O 2 gas are simultaneously led into the reaction room, and bisa power is applied while lamping it. Since oxygen atmosphere gas is not led into the reaction room before starting film formation, oxidation of a W wire can be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device having a capacitor comprising a cylinder interlayer insulating film made of a two-layer interlayer insulating film, a charge storage capacitance of which is increased in the lower of a cylinder hole by making a hole diameter at the lower of the cylinder hole larger than the hole diameter at the upper, and moreover, a leakage current of which is low. SOLUTION: An etching rate used for wet-etching of a first cylinder interlayer insulating film 23a is two times or higher, and lower than six times the etching rate used for wet-etching of a second cylinder interlayer insulating film 23b; the hole diameter of a first cylinder hole 50a is formed larger than the hole diameter of a second cylinder hole 50b; and the closer it is to a boundary 23c between the first cylinder interlayer insulating film 23a and the second cylinder interlayer insulating film 23b, the larger the hole diameter of the second cylinder hole 50b is formed in the vicinity of the boundary 23c.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems wherein, in relation to an HDP-CVD (High-Density-Plasma CVD) apparatus which is utilized in manufacturing processes of semiconductor devices because of it excellent embeddability of the deposited material, the semiconductor manufacturing yield is decreased due to particle increase, and the uptime ratio of the apparatus is also decreased due to nozzle exchange for a short period of time, in the HDP-CVD apparatus operated under a high RF power condition. SOLUTION: The semiconductor manufacturing apparatus is provided with a gas-introducing nozzle in which aluminum nitride ceramic not containing yttria (Y 2 O 3 ) serving as a sintering aid is used as its material member. Since yittrium (Y) is not deposited on the nozzle surface, preferentially fluorinated region is reduced. Adhesiveness to a precoat film is thereby enhanced, and particle generation is suppressed during the film formation. Furthermore, since the portion that is easily fluorinated is reduced, fluorination of the entire nozzle is suppressed, and the life of the material member is extended. A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus with a high uptime ratio and a high manufacturing yield is then obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
