- the ferroelectric film is formed as much as possible in an upper layer of the integrated circuit. This is for the following reasons.
- PZT is an oxide, it is reduced when exposed to a reducing atmosphere, and the ferroelectric properties of PZT deteriorate. Also, even in highly reactive environments such as dry etching, ferroelectric characteristics are liable to deteriorate.
- the formation of the capacitor corresponds to the initial stage of a semiconductor device, and a wiring structure or the like is formed thereon.
- the PZT film that forms the component undergoes many processes that create an environment in which the above-mentioned characteristics tend to deteriorate.

- the vinegar in which the Pb raw material and the Ti raw material are dissolved is transported to the vaporizer 805b while controlling the flow rate to a predetermined flow rate by the flow rate control means 805a, and the raw materials dissolved together with the butyl acetate are vaporized by the vaporizer 805b.
- Helium gas is added to these at a predetermined flow rate and transported to the shower head 803.
- the Pb raw material gas and Ti raw material gas and butyl acetate and helium transported to the shower head 803 in a premixed state are uniform from the shower head 803. Is supplied onto the wafer 804 in the reactor 801.
- N 20 is supplied onto the wafer 804 in the reactor 801 without being mixed with the raw material gas in the shower head 803.
- the pressure in the reactor 801 was set to a low vacuum of about 0.1 Torr, but the partial pressure of each raw material gas supplied was the same as in the above-described second embodiment. if the low state, on the wafer 8 0 4 being heated, P b T i 0 3 crystal nuclei can be formed.
- a PZT thin film is formed as described below.
- the Pb raw material, the Ti raw material and the Zr The butyl acetate solution in which the raw materials are dissolved is controlled to a predetermined flow rate by the flow rate control means 806a and transported to the vaporizer 806b, where each raw material dissolved together with butyl acetate is vaporized. Vaporize in vessel 806b. Helium gas is added to these at a predetermined flow rate and transported to the shower head 803.
- the Pb raw material gas, Ti raw material gas, Zr raw material gas, butyl acetate and helium transported to the shower head 803 in a premixed state are combined with the shower head 803 From the wafer 804 in the reactor 801 in a uniform state.
- N 20 is supplied onto the wafer 804 in the reactor 801 without being mixed with the raw material gas in the shower head 803.
- the Zr raw material gas is also mixed, and the wafer is placed on the wafer 804.
- Each source gas is supplied to N 2 2 is also supplied separately from the source gas.
- the pressure in the reactor 801 is set to a low vacuum of about 0.1 Torr, but the partial pressure of each raw material gas supplied is reduced in the same manner as in the second embodiment. If the state is low, the crystal nuclei are used as seeds to form perovs on wafer 804. A PZT thin film with a kite crystal structure is formed. Also in Example 4, in forming the PZT thin film, the degree of vacuum in the reactor 81 was set to a low vacuum of 0.1 Torr, so each gas supplied into the reactor 81 was Instead of being in a molecular flow state, it will be supplied in a state where the intermediate flow is connected to a viscous flow region.
- a PZT thin film can be formed on the wafer 804 in a uniform state.
- the vaporized gas of the organic solvent was used as the diluent gas.
- the vaporized gas of the organic solvent should not be supplied in a very large amount. It is better to use only.
- the vaporized gas of the organic solvent is set to be about 100 times the raw material.
- helium gas is used as the diluent gas.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- Another inert gas such as argon gas may be used, or nitrogen gas may be used.
- each of the organometallic raw material gases and the like is supplied in a state of transition from the intermediate flow to the viscous flow. Even in such a high pressure state, since each organometallic raw material gas is supplied after being diluted with a diluent gas, the partial pressure of each raw material gas supplied on the substrate (wafer) on the substrate is zero. . 0 It is a low value less than 1 Torr. In other words, in the second step, the film is in a state where the film is formed under a high vacuum.
- the perovskite crystal film of PZT used for the capacitor dielectric film of the DRAM can be formed by 45 It can be formed uniformly at a low temperature of 0 ° C or less.
