- plasma is generated only when H gas, which is a reducing gas, is supplied (ON).
- H gas is activated so that the reaction can be promoted even when the wafer temperature is low. ing.
- the source gas adhering to the wafer surface when the source gas is supplied is reduced by the introduction of H gas, and a Cu film having an atomic level thickness as described above is deposited.
- the film thickness formed in one cycle is about 1 to 2A.
- the process temperature is about 100 to 400 ° C
- the process pressure is about 13.3 to 1330 Pa (0.1 to: LOTorr).
- the alloy seed film forming step and the base material film forming step as described above are repeated once or alternately three times, the laminated structure shown in FIG. Garage.
- the wafer itself is also heated to about 100 to 400 ° C. Therefore, as described above, thermal diffusion of metal atoms occurs, and the whole is alloyed and finally alloyed.
- Layers 100 and 102 (see Figure 3) will be produced.
- the number of laminated layers of the alloy seed film 104 and the base material film 106 is not limited to one or three layers, and the necessary number of layers may be laminated as described above.
- the thickness may be changed even for the same film type.
- the first-layer base material film 106 is formed at a thickness of 30 A
- the second-layer base material film 106 is formed at a thickness of 90 A, which is three times that thickness. Let's make a film.
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the concentration distribution of each element in the thickness direction of the silicon wafer at that time.
- the horizontal axis shows the sputtering time, and the wafer surface is scraped gradually in the thickness direction by sputtering, and the concentration of each element at that time is shown. That is, the sputtering time corresponds to the dimension in the film thickness direction.
- the concentrations of Si, Cu and Ti are shown. As is clear from the figure, The Ti concentration at the boundary between the two was considerably high, and it was confirmed that Ti was sufficiently thermally diffused in the direction of decreasing film thickness to a certain level of Ti concentration. .
- an annealing process for heating the entire wafer to a predetermined temperature may be performed. According to this, Ti element can be diffused more reliably.
- the Ti concentration can be locally increased at the boundary between the alloy layer and the wafer surface, adhesion to the underlying wafer surface can be improved. Further, the Ti element can be sufficiently thermally diffused and distributed over the entire stacked structure, that is, the entire alloy layers 100 and 102.
- the method of the present invention does not use the sputter film formation as in the conventional method and is performed by so-called ALD film formation, the step coverage can be sufficiently increased.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- the film may be formed by CVD film formation.
- plasma CDV film formation using plasma or thermal CVD film formation without using plasma may be used.
- This CVD film formation is a continuous film formation method in which a source gas and a reducing gas are simultaneously supplied into a processing container to continuously form a film.
- FIG. 6 is a timing chart showing the supply timing of each gas when a thin film laminated structure is manufactured by plasma CVD film formation.
- 6A shows a timing chart of the alloy seed film forming process
- FIG. 6B shows a timing chart of the base material film forming process.
- the source gas and the reducing gas are simultaneously supplied, and the plasma is generated in synchronization with this, and the Ti film and the Cu film are formed by plasma CVD, respectively.
- the Since the Cu film is thicker, the film formation time in Fig. 6 (B) is longer than that in the case of the Ti film in Fig. 6 (A) .
- the alloy seed film formation process takes 10 to 20 seconds.
- the base material film formation process is performed for about 200 to 2000 seconds. In this case, since CVD film formation is used, the film formation rate is increased, so that not only the throughput can be improved, but also the embedding characteristics can be improved and the step coverage can be further improved.
- the above-described ALD film formation and CVD film formation are combined to form a thin film laminated structure. You may do it.
- the alloy seed film formation process may be ALD film formation
- the base material film formation process may be CVD film formation.
- the alloy seed film forming step and the base material film forming step are performed in the same processing vessel, that is, in the same film forming apparatus.
- the present invention is not limited to this. Coupled like a tool, wafers can be transported between multiple deposition systems without exposing them to the atmosphere, and the alloy seed film formation process and the base material film formation process differ from each other. Do it with a film deposition system.
- TiCl was used as a raw material containing Ti metal, but is not limited to this.
- TiF titanium tetrafluoride
- TiBr titanium tetrabromide
- Til titanium tetraiodide
- Jetylaminotitanium and the like can be used.
- Ti is used as the first metal that is an alloy type
- the present invention is not limited to this.

- One or more gases selected from the group consisting of gin] can be used.
- the force described here with a semiconductor wafer as an example of the object to be processed is not limited to this, and a glass substrate, an LCD substrate, or the like can be used.
