Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a cleaning method for a device for manufacturing a semiconductor, and more particularly to a reaction for depositing a device containing a carbon film Dry cleaning method. [Prior Art] Generally, semiconductor elements are fabricated by using a plurality of unit processes, such as an ion implantation process, a fdjn formation process, a diffusion process, and a photolithography process. Process ) and the etching process (etehing process). In the above unit process, in order to increase the reproducibility and reliability of semiconductor device fabrication, it is necessary to improve the film formation process. A film of a semiconductor element is formed on a wafer by using, for example, deplating, evaporation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The film deposition apparatus for carrying out the above method generally includes a reactor, a gas line for supplying various gases to the reactor, and a wafer block for placing the wafer. However, when the film formation process is carried out by using a film deposition apparatus, the reaction product generated during the film formation process is deposited (attached) on the surface of the semiconductor film and on the surface of the reaction 11. A film deposition apparatus for performing semiconductor mass production (office 8 production) processes a large number of wafers. Therefore, when the semiconductor process is continuously performed in a state where the reaction product adheres to the reactor, the film characteristics in the semiconductor process will change. Its most representative (four) is the membrane power 201005810. xoojopif.doc The change in resistance or thickness and the resulting particles due to the shedding of the reaction product. These particles can cause defects and adhere to the wafer during the deposition process. This will result in degradation of the yield of the semiconductor device. Therefore, in the conventional semiconductor manufacturing method, before the film is changed, that is, after the wafer deposition process is performed for a predetermined time or after depositing a predetermined number of wafers, the film deposition device is stopped, and the reactor is exposed to the air, so that the reactor is exposed to the air. The reactor and the components of the reactor are separated from one another. The separate reactors are recombined after cleaning the foreign matter deposited on the reactor and the components by a 2,000 volatile material such as alcohol. Typically, this method of cleaning is referred to as ex_situ cleaning. In the ex-situ cleaning method, productivity is significantly reduced when manufacturing a semiconductor, and a change-point of the device is produced. Another cleaning method of the film deposition device is a so-called in-situ cleaning method. By this method, the deposition product inside the reactor can be removed by using a corrosive gas without stopping the operation of the film deposition apparatus. For example, a perfluorochemical gas (perfluorized ec) mp() und such as CF4, C2F6, C3F8, d, 〇iF3, ^β or nf3 is injected into the reactor to clean the sedimentary stone (ϋ), A device such as a film of oxidized stone (SiOx) or tantalum nitride (SiNx) is used to remove the above film. In particular, as the degree of integration of semiconductor devices continues to increase, in order to reduce leakage current, attempts have been made to add carbon into the film, for example, to deposit a low dielectric constant (l〇w-k) film such as Si〇CH. The metal nitride film (e.g., pass) may contain 10-20% carbon. Therefore, in the deposition of a film containing 5% or more of carbon, when dry cleaning is performed by using a conventional rot gas, the 201005810 Z-OOJOpif.doc is based on fluorinated carbon (CF*). a by-product of the white powder. Therefore, there is a need for an improved dry cleaning method for depositing a carbon containing film. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a dry cleaning method for depositing a device containing a carbon film. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dry cleaning method for depositing a carbonaceous film-containing apparatus, the method comprising cleaning an interior of a reactor of the apparatus, wherein cleaning the interior of the reactor of the apparatus comprises supplying a cleaning gas to the reactor, The cleaning gas includes a halogen activated by using a remote plasma generator and simultaneously supplies an unactivated carbon removal gas to the reactor. In the present invention, the cleaning gas may be a gas selected from the group consisting of nf3, C2F6, cf4, CHF3, FS, and combinations thereof. The carbon removal gas may be a gas including oxygen (0) or hydrogen (H). The carbon removal gas may be a gas selected from the group consisting of 〇2, ΚΟ, Ο; NH3, H2, and combinations thereof. The method further includes a 〇2 treatment to pre-removal of carbon present on the surface of by-products present inside the reactor prior to supplying the cleaning gas and the carbon removal gas. After cleaning the interior of the reactor, the method further includes removing the residual gas of the cleaning gas by treating the carbon-containing film with a hydrogen-containing gas. In this case, the hydrogen-containing gas may be a gas selected from the group consisting of H2, NH3, SiH4, H2, and combinations thereof. After cleaning the interior of the reactor, the method further includes aging the interior of the reactor by using a carbonaceous film. [Embodiment] 201005810 ^

Placed on the wafer w on the wafer block 12. Set to 1 to deposit a carbon-containing film on a semiconductor wafer w (e.g., '矽 3 substrate). The apparatus 1 further includes a gas supply unit 20' which can supply a source gas of a certain process and an inert gas to the reactor 1G. In the cleaning method according to the present invention, the cleaning gas includes halogen, and the gas is supplied to the reactor 10 by using a remote plasma. Activation/Month The cleaning gas including the A element may be selected from the group consisting of NF3, C2F6, e&, CHF3, F2, and combinations thereof; The carbon removal gas can be included. 1 μ '’, mm. μ. For example, the carbon removal gas is a gas selected from the group consisting of 02, Ν2〇, 〇3, MN3, η2, and combinations thereof. Next, a cleaning method of the reactor 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.衣Ϊ n 8 201005810. x〇〇j〇pif.doc First Embodiment Fig. 2 is a flow chart of a cleaning method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in operation S1 of Figure 2, the internal pressure of the reactor 10 of the apparatus 1 is adjusted to be suitable for cleaning. The pressure inside the reactor is from 0.3 to 10 torr. As the internal pressure of the reactor 1 降低 decreases, the cleaning efficiency increases. The internal pressure of the reactor 1〇 was maintained at 〇.5_4 torr. Next, in operation S2, by supplying a cleaning gas to the reactor 10', the cleaning gas includes activating the element by using the remote plasma generator 22, and simultaneously supplying the unactivated carbon removing gas to the reaction. The inside of the reactor 1 is cleaned without stopping the operation device 1. The time for cleaning operation S2 varies depending on the degree of contamination of the reactor 1 and can vary depending on whether one or 500 wafers are processed. The carbon-containing film was removed at a rate of about 1000 people/min, although it varied depending on conditions. Therefore, when 1000 wafers having a film thickness of 2 Å are processed, the cleaning is performed for β for 200 minutes. When a film such as TaCN is deposited using the apparatus 1, the cleaning gas including halogen may be NF3' and the carbon removal gas may be 〇2. By operating far, the plasma generator 22, the plasma cleaning gas, and the supply of cleaning gas to the reaction pirates 10 can further maximize cleaning efficiency. Argon (Ar) can be used as a base process gas for generating electrical equipment. When only the etching gas of a general dry cleaning gas is used for cleaning, the carbon and fluoride present in the reactor react with each other to form fluoride carbon and produce by-products in a solid form. Therefore, 9 201005810 厶〇 〇 jopif.doc Reactor 10 cannot be completely cleaned. In the present invention, the metal by-product in the reactor 10 can be removed by using a cleaning gas including a halogen and adding a carbon removing gas to a cleaning gas including a halogen, without generating a by-product of a solid form. The reactor 10 is cleaned. Therefore, after processing a predetermined number of wafers, in-situ cleaning is performed without stopping the operation of the film deposition apparatus, thereby maximizing the productivity of the film deposition apparatus. In particular, the invention is achieved by a partially activated gas. The cleaning gas is used in an activated state and the carbon removal gas is used without being activated. When the cleaning gas and carbon removal gas are simultaneously activated and supplied to the reactor, they react with each other and produce organic by-products such as Teflon. According to the experimental results conducted by the inventors, the respective fluxes of the cleaning gas and the carbon removal gas must be adjusted to a very narrow range to avoid the production of organic by-products. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of maximizing cleaning efficiency by activating only a cleaning gas, and removing carbon, while neutralizing, without removing carbon by activated carbon. In this method, it is not necessary to avoid the generation of organic by-products by finely adjusting the respective flow rates of the cleaning == bodies. Therefore, the reproducibility of the reactor is excellent, and a wider cleaning process margin (pro· margin) can be obtained. When the reaction of the cleaning operation S2 is completed, the cleaning_S3 of the gas remaining in the reactor 1 is removed. Reactor 1 气体, gas line and remote plasma generated benefit 22 were cleaned. This is because a cleaning gas or the like may remain in the reactor 10 and the gas line. When such problems do not occur, the cleaning operation S3 can be omitted. In this consideration, the cleaning gas can be a gas, 201005810 ^««Depif.doc such as Ar or N2. Second Embodiment According to a flow chart of a cleaning method. The cleaning method 'but the cleaning method of Figure 2; ^ method is similar to the cleaning operation in Figure 2. + the same is that it also includes other reference to Figs. 1 and 3, in which the internal pressure of Fig. 3m is adjusted to be suitable for cleaning: in S11, the reactor 10 is next, in operation S12, (operation SU) is oxidized. What is the reactor? Perform 〇2 treatment and remove carbon in advance. . The carbon on the surface of the by-product of the crucible, and then, in operation S13, by supplying the cleaning gas package (4) by using _#^= ting, 1 〇, and at the same time, hiring to the abdomen, leather, and living When the gas is removed from the reactor 22, the gas is removed from the gas to the reactor 10 to remove the remaining S13 in the reactor 10. Operation S3 in FIG. 2 can be performed as 814. f is 'removed by the operation of further using hydrogen-containing gas in operation S15 to remove the residual of the cleaning gas. In this case, the gas may be selected from the group of ώJJ2, 33, 、, 〇, and combinations thereof. The hydrogen-containing gas can be simply cleaned or treated by generating a plasma in the hydrogen-containing gas. _ Next' is used in the seasoning reactor 10 by using a carbon-containing film. Operation of p and making the reactor most suitable for film deposition 201005810 ^£88D 5pif.doc After the cleaning is completed, in order to carry out film deposition by loading the wafer, the atmosphere in the reaction benefit 10 is combined. This is because the problem that the film deposited for the first time after the cleaning is completed has a different property (e.g., a decrease in film thickness) from the film deposited in the subsequent process. Therefore, as a final operation of the cleaning method, before the first wafer is loaded, the aging operation S16 is performed in advance, that is, the film on the inner surface of the reactor 10 is covered with the film to be deposited on the wafer. Although the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art should understand that the invention can be practiced without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Modifications in various forms and details. According to the present invention, a device for depositing a carbon-containing film can be effectively cleaned. By supplying a cleaning gas to the reactor, the cleaning gas includes a halogen activated by a remote plasma generator, and simultaneously supplies an unactivated carbon removal gas to the reactor to clean the metal by-products inside the reactor. The reactor can be cleaned without producing by-products in solid form. Therefore, in-situ cleaning without disposing of the device for depositing a carbon-containing film after processing the pre-twisted wafers maximizes the productivity of the device for depositing the carbon-containing film. In particular, in the reactor cleaning method using a partial activation gas, the cleaning gas is used in an activated state, and the carbon removal gas is used without being activated. Therefore, in this method, the reproducibility of the reactor is excellent, and a wider cleaning process tolerance can be obtained. As described above, the present invention provides an in-situ cleaning method for depositing a carbon-containing film. In general, by cleaning with only corrosive gases, 12 201005810 bpif.doc will produce by-products in solid form in the reactor and therefore will not completely clean the reactor. In the present invention, by removing the metal by-product in the reactor by using a cleaning gas including a halogen and adding a carbon removing gas to a cleaning gas including _, it is possible to clean without producing a by-product of a solid form. reactor. In particular, the present invention describes a reactor cleaning method using a partially activated gas. The cleaning gas is used in an active state, and the removal gas is used when Φ is not activated. In this method, the reproducibility of the reactor is excellent, and a wider cleaning process tolerance can be obtained.
