Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device for forming a thin film having low permittivity, high etching resistance and high leak resistance is provided. The method includes: forming a film containing a predetermined element, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times. The cycle includes: (a) supplying a source gas containing the predetermined element and a halogen element to the substrate; (b) supplying a first reactive gas containing the three elements including carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen wherein a number of carbon atoms in each molecule of the first reactive gas is greater than that of nitrogen atoms in each molecule of the first reactive gas to the substrate; (c) supplying a nitriding gas as a second reactive gas to the substrate; and (d) supplying an oxidizing gas as a third reactive gas to the substrate, wherein (a) through (d) are non-simultaneously performed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: forming a film containing a predetermined element, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen on a substrate in a process chamber by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including non-simultaneously performing: (a) supplying a source gas containing the predetermined element and a halogen element to the substrate in the process chamber; (b) supplying a first reactive gas containing carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen to the substrate in the process chamber wherein number of carbon atoms in each molecule of the first reactive gas is greater than that of nitrogen atoms in each molecule of the first reactive gas; and (c) supplying an oxidizing gas as a second reactive gas to the substrate in the process chamber, wherein an inner pressure of the process chamber in (b) is greater than that of the process chamber in (a), and the cycle further includes: (d) supplying a nitriding gas as a third reactive gas to the substrate.
