Definitions
- Gate insulator film forming method Gate insulator film forming apparatus, class
- the present invention relates to a method for forming a gate insulator for forming a gate of an FET, a device for forming a gate insulator, and a class rule having such an apparatus, and particularly to a high-speed operation.
- the present invention also relates to a gate insulator film forming method suitable for reducing power consumption, a gate insulator film forming device, and a class having such a device.
- the manufacturing process technology is being miniaturized for higher integration.
- One of the advantages of high integration is high-speed operation.
- the gate insulating film of a transistor it is necessary to make it thinner.
- the leakage current increases, which acts in a direction that causes a disadvantage in terms of power consumption.
- the general gate one gate insulating film have been used S i 0 2 but, S i 0 2 of thinning in terms of leakage current Ru Tsutsua reaches the limit in the recent miniaturization process. Therefore, high-dielectric-constant material that satisfies the specifications such as high-speed performance with a thicker film is attracting attention.
- High dielectric constant materials must be compatible with Si as the substrate. For example, if oxygen atoms constituting the high dielectric constant material are easily taken into the substrate Si, a transition phase is generated between (an interface) between the film made of the high dielectric constant material and the substrate Si, and the film quality is reduced. to degrade. Disclosure of the invention
- the present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and has a gate insulating film forming method capable of forming a gate of a high dielectric constant material by forming a barrier layer as a pretreatment.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a film forming apparatus of the type described above and a class rule having such an apparatus.
- a method for forming a gate insulator according to the present invention includes a first method in which a material having a first dielectric constant is used as an essential component on a surface of a semiconductor substrate.
- a first step of forming an insulating film and forming, on the formed first insulating film, a material having a second dielectric constant larger than the first dielectric constant as an essential component. And forming a second insulating film thicker than the first insulating film.
- the first insulating film is located between the semiconductor substrate and the second insulating film having a high dielectric constant, but is formed separately from the formation of the second insulating film.
- a second insulating film having a high dielectric constant is formed on the very thin first insulating film formed separately.
- the film forming process of the high dielectric constant material is used as a pretreatment for forming a barrier layer. Since it is performed continuously, it is possible to form a stable gate of a high dielectric constant material on the substrate.
