Embodiment
Contriver's discovery, the heating part in the MOCVD device also need to form one deck sealing coat at described heating part upper surface before use, for the protection of the upper surface of described heating part, increase simultaneously the planeness of upper surface.
For instance, described sealing coat can be titanium nitride film, forms described titanium nitride film layer method and generally adopts TDMAT that thermolysis at high temperature occurs, to generate titanium nitride film.
Particularly, adopt TDMAT as organometallic unstripped gas, and make described TDMAT that thermolysis at high temperature occur by the heating part, its degradation production includes titanium nitride TiN, dimethylamine (CH

When heating process to described TDMAT was finished in heating part 10, the TDMAT thermolysis that can have part was not thorough, and described halfway thermolysis will cause in the titanium nitride film of generation and contain impurity element.As shown in Figure 2, described impurity element 200 comprises a kind of or combination in nitrogen element, carbon or the protium that comprises in TDMAT.The contriver carries out composition analysis by the titanium nitride film 40 that described TDMAT thermolysis is formed, and finds that in impurity element 200, the content of carbon is higher.
With reference to figure 4, described titanium nitride film 40 is carried out reactive ion etching, described reactive ion comprises a kind of of hydrogen ion and nitrogen ion or combination.In the present embodiment, described reactive ion 300 is comprised of hydrogen ion and nitrogen Ar ion mixing.
Particularly, described reactive ion etching is carried out under the rough vacuum of a few to tens of handkerchiefs at zero point, described titanium nitride film 40 is in low potential, during reactive ion 300 plasma, a large amount of reactive ions produce under perpendicular to the electric field action on titanium nitride film 40 surfaces and accelerate, and impinge perpendicularly on titanium nitride film 40 surfaces, carry out physical etchings with larger momentum, simultaneously strong chemical reaction also occurs with the impurity element on titanium nitride film 40 surfaces in described ion, produces the chemical etching effect.
