In recent years, the use of sputtering methods has rapidly increased in the production of semiconductor devices, which are undergoing rapid development. Conventionally, this type of sputtering equipment has a first
It has the configuration shown in the figure. A target 13 is placed on an electrode 12 that serves as a cathode or a high-frequency electrode in a vacuum chamber 11, an electrode shield 14 is provided around the target 13 and the electrode 12, and a substrate support 15 is placed in front of the target 13. It has been placed. After installing the substrate 16 on the substrate support stand 15,
Vacuum chamber 11 is evacuated and inert gas such as Ar and O 2
A predetermined amount of active gas such as or N 2 is introduced into the electrode 12.
When a negative voltage or high frequency voltage is applied to the
This impinges on the surface of the target 13. As a result, the target constituent atoms are knocked out, and a thin film containing the target constituent atoms as a main component is formed on the substrate 16. Since the sputtering method is based on the above principle, it has the advantage that the difference between the composition of the target and the composition of the formed thin film can be kept extremely small. For this reason, it has become an indispensable thin film forming method for forming thin films often used in semiconductor devices, such as Al thin films containing several percent of Si or Cu. However, polycrystalline Si films containing P or As are also commonly used in semiconductor devices. In this case, it is extremely difficult to form a target using a sputtering method by adding a large amount of these impurities. The reason for this is that the vapor pressure of P or As is extremely high compared to that of Si. For this reason, the vapor phase growth method is commonly used to manufacture semiconductor devices. However, this vapor phase growth method has problems in that it requires high temperature treatment and requires the use of harmful and dangerous gases.
