- a main film made of metallic tungsten is formed by CVD as the second thin film in the second thin film formation process.
- a feature of the present invention is that the first thin film forming step in a relatively short time is performed in a state where the wafer and W are adsorbed and held by the adsorption structure 92, whereby the seed film as the first thin film is formed on the periphery of the wafer surface. It is in the point of forming up to a wider area.
- a depressurization step is performed in which the inside of the processing vessel 22 is depressurized to an initial pressure lower than atmospheric pressure by an exhaust system.
- This initial pressure is lower than the process pressure in the first thin film formation step, for example, lOOOPa or less, preferably about 13.3 Pa.
- the pressure in each recess 94 is the same as that in the processing vessel 22.
- the depressurization time at this time is a force depending on the pressure in the immediately preceding processing container 22, for example, 4 to: about L0 seconds.
- the wafer W is kept lifted up slightly from the mounting surface during decompression, and when the decompression is completed, the wafer W is lowered to a state as shown in FIG. 5 (A). .
- the clamp ring 58 of the clamp device 56 is slightly lowered so that it is slightly separated without being brought into contact with the peripheral portion of the wafer W. And stop. At this time, the distance L1 between the surface of the wafer W and the lower surface of the clamp ring 58 is about 4 mm.
- the height L2 of the protrusion 60 of the ring 58 is about 20-50 / ⁇ ⁇ , and the horizontal overlap width L3 between the clamp ring 58 and the peripheral portion of the wafer W is about 2-4 mm.
- the inside of the processing vessel 22 is depressurized to a process pressure higher than the initial pressure and lower than the atmospheric pressure.
- the heating lamp 80 is turned on while being turned on to emit irradiation light as heat energy.
- the emitted irradiation light passes through the transmission window 74 and then irradiates the back surface of the mounting table 46 to heat it. Since the mounting table 46 is very thin, it is heated quickly, and the wafer W mounted thereon can be quickly heated to a predetermined temperature.
- Process gas containing H gas is transferred from the shower head 24 to the process space S in the process vessel 22.
- a seeding film comprising tungsten crystal nuclei as the first thin film 6
- a CVD process is performed to form.
- Ar gas for example, is supplied to the space below the mounting table 46 through the gas introduction path 90 of the knock side gas supply system 88 while controlling the flow rate. This prevents the processing gas from entering the space and depositing unnecessary films on the back surface of the mounting table 46 and the upper surface of the transmission window 74.
- the process conditions at this time are such that the process pressure is about 100 to 12000 Pa, the process temperature is about 300 to 500 ° C., and the process time is about 5 to 60 seconds.
- Ar gas is supplied as a backside gas to the space below the mounting table 46! Therefore, the deposition gas is prevented from flowing into the space below.
- the distance L1 between the lower surface of the clamping ring 58 and the surface of the wafer W is set to about 4 mm, and a considerably wide gap 96 is formed. It will penetrate deeply into the gap 96. Accordingly, the outer peripheral edge 6A of the seeding film 6 is formed in the peripheral portion of the wafer W so as to extend to the vicinity of the end face. In other words, the outer peripheral edge 6A of the seeding film 6 spreads more outward in the radial direction of the wafer W than in the conventional method shown in FIG.
- the wafer W is sucked and held on the mounting table 46 by the concave portion 94 constituting the sucking means, so that it does not slide on the mounting table 46. Yes. That is, a substantially sealed space is formed between the back surface of Ueno, W and the recess 94, and the pressure in the space is lower than the process pressure in the processing space S. The wafer W is attracted and held on the mounting surface by this differential pressure.
- the process time of the first thin film forming step is as short as about 30 seconds as described above, and within that time, sufficient adsorption force (differential pressure) can be maintained. Yes.
- the clamp ring 58 of the clamp device 56 is brought into contact with the peripheral portion of the surface of the wafer W, and the wafer W is pressed against the mounting table 46. Hold. As a result, the wafer W related to the pressure in the recess 94 is completely held, and the subsequent skidding is prevented. In this state, it contains WF gas and H gas which are film forming gases
- a process gas is supplied, and a tungsten metal film, which is the second thin film, is formed as the main film 8 at a higher film formation rate from the seeding film 6 by the CVD film formation process.
- Ar gas is supplied to the space on the back side of the mounting table 46 as a knock side gas.
- the process conditions at this time are a process pressure force of about 000 to 12000 Pa, for example, 10666 Pa (80 Torr), a process temperature of, for example, about 300 to 500 ° C. is there.
- the distance between the lower surface of the clamp ring 58 and the surface of the wafer W, that is, the height of the gap 96 is the first thickness shown in FIG. This is much shorter than the thin film formation process. For this reason, the film forming gas in the processing space S hardly penetrates into the gap 96 due to the effect of the knock side gas. As a result, the outer peripheral edge 8A of the main film 8 is formed so as not to spread so far outward in the radial direction of the wafer W. In other words, the outer peripheral edge 8A of the main film 8 is located radially inward of the outer peripheral edge 6A of the seeding film 6.
- each gas is stopped and the force for lowering the wafer temperature.
- Each recess 94 is formed in a substantially uniform distribution on the mounting surface. This temperature can be lowered while maintaining in-plane uniformity.
- Power to do It is not limited to this.
- supply WF gas and SiH gas alternately
- the seeding film may be sequentially formed by stacking the seeding film at the atomic level or at the molecular level.
- a film forming method is called a so-called SFD (Sequential F1ow Deposition).
- SFD Sequential F1ow Deposition
- 2-10 seconds per cycle For example, it takes 6 seconds, and this is performed for several cycles to 10 or more cycles. Accordingly, since the entire film formation time is as short as about 60 seconds, the wafer W can be sufficiently sucked and held by the suction structure 92.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the pressure change at that time.
- the pressure in the processing container 22 could be reduced to lOOOPa or less by reducing the pressure for a short time of about 4 seconds. Therefore, it was confirmed that the time required for the decompression step performed immediately before the first thin film formation step is very short.
- the processing of the first thin film forming process was performed by SFD, and the evaluation of whether or not Ueno and W slip occurred at this time was performed.
- the evaluation results at that time will be described.
- the pressure in the processing container 22 immediately before the decompression process is set to 10666 Pa
- the decompression process is performed for a set time, and then the first thin film formation process is performed for 50 seconds.
- the wafer slips in the first thin film forming process is examined. As a result of the evaluation experiment, it was confirmed that the wafer slip occurred when the set time of the decompression process was about 5 seconds, but did not occur when it was 6 seconds or longer.
- the adsorption structure 92 in FIG. 8 has a plurality of communication recesses 98 that allow the annular recesses 94 shown in FIG. 3 to communicate with each other.
- the respective communication recesses 98 are arranged in the diameter direction of the mounting table 46.
- the annular recesses 94 communicate with each other, and the pressure difference between the annular recesses 94 is eliminated. For this reason, it is possible to improve the uniformity of the adsorption of the wafer W in the first thin film forming step and to further improve the in-plane uniformity of the temperature when the wafer is cooled.
- FIG. 7 (A) shows the temperature change at the wafer center
- FIG. 7 (B) shows the temperature change at the wafer periphery.
- curves A1 and A2 show the wafer temperature processed by the mounting table shown in FIG. 3
- curves B1 and B2 show the wafer temperature processed by the mounting table shown in FIG.
- the adsorption structure 92 of the present embodiment is not limited to the one formed by the annular recesses 94 arranged concentrically as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG.
- continuous spiral recesses 94A shown in FIG. 9 (A) a plurality of linear recesses 94B arranged in a grid pattern shown in FIG. 9 (B), or radial arrangements shown in FIG. 9 (C). It may be formed by a plurality of straight concave portions 94C.
- monosilane SiH 2
- SiH 2 is used as the film forming gas for the first thin film.
- disilane, dichlorosilane or the like may be used.
- the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the present invention can be applied to the case where film formation is performed such that the first thin film and the second thin film are continuously formed on the surface of the flat plate-like object.
- the semiconductor wafer is described as an example of the object to be processed, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the present invention can be applied to flat plate-like objects such as LCD substrates and glass substrates.
