Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method of forming a seed layer for forming a thin film, which is capable of further improving a thickness uniformity of the thin film. The method of forming a seed layer that is a seed of the thin film on a base includes adsorbing at least silicon included in an aminosilane-based gas on the base, by using the aminosilane-based gas; and depositing at least silicon included in a higher-order silane-based gas having an order that is equal to or higher than disilane on the base, on which at least the silicon included in the aminosilane-based gas is adsorbed, by using the higher-order silane-based gas having an order that is equal to or higher than the disilane.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a silicon-containing thin film, the method comprising: forming a first seed layer on a base by adsorbing at least silicon included in an aminosilane-based gas on the base, using the aminosilane-based gas; forming a second seed layer on the first seed layer by depositing at least silicon included in a higher-order silane-based gas having an order that is equal to or higher than disilane, using the higher-order silane-based gas having an…
