- a second film forming agent is supplied to the wafer 200, and a film having a different composition from the stopper portion 314 and the same composition as the second film portion 320 is formed in the groove portion 350 of the second film portion 320 of the wafer 200, thereby backfilling the groove portion 350.
- a film having the same composition as the second film portion 320 i.e., a SiOC film
- the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
- any film having a composition that is not etched when removing the third film portion 330, the first part 311A of the first film portion 310, and the stopper portion 314 can be used as a film for backfilling the groove portion 350.
- a film containing O and C can be suitably used.
- a film having the same composition as the second film section 320 is formed by the same procedure as in the first film formation step described above, except that the raw materials supplied are different. That is, a film is formed using a second raw material (second raw material gas), a catalyst, and a reactant as the second film forming agent. Specifically, in the second film formation step, a SiOC film is formed using a Si raw material containing C and halogen, which is a second raw material different from the first raw material.
- the second raw material gas is supplied into the processing chamber 201 through the nozzle 249b by controlling the MFC 241e and the valve 243e in the second raw material gas supply system.
- a gas containing Si, C and a halogen can be used as the second raw material.
- the gas containing Si, C and a halogen preferably contains C in the form of a Si-C bond.
- an alkylenechlorosilane gas containing an alkylene group can be used as the gas containing Si, C and a halogen.
- the alkylene group includes a methylene group, an ethylene group, a propylene group, a butylene group, etc.
- an alkylchlorosilane gas containing an alkyl group can be used as the gas containing Si, C and a halogen.
- the alkyl group includes a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, a butyl group, etc.
- the second source may be, for example, bis(trichlorosilyl)methane ((SiCl 3 ) 2 CH 2 ), 1,2-bis(trichlorosilyl)ethane ((SiCl 3 ) 2 C 2 H 4 ), 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-1,2-dimethyldisilane ((CH 3 ) 2 Si 2 Cl 4 ), 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilane ((CH 3 ) 4 Si 2 Cl 2 ), and 1,1,3,3-tetrachloro-1,3-disilacyclobutane (C 2 H 4 Cl 4 Si 2 ).
- One or more of these may be used as the second source.
- An example of a processing sequence of the film formation process in this step is as follows: (second material + catalyst ⁇ reactant + catalyst) x n
- a cycle including a source supply step of supplying the second source and the catalyst to the wafer 200 and a reactant supply step of supplying the reactant and the catalyst to the wafer 200 is repeated multiple times until the groove portion 350 is filled with a film formed by this cycle.
- the modified layer 324 when backfilling the groove portion 350 with the second film portion 320 in this step, in the case of performing mild film formation such as not using plasma, it is desirable to perform the above-mentioned removal step of the modified layer 324 before backfilling.
- a film formation method using plasma in this step for example, when using a plasma-excited gas such as O2 plasma as a reactant, when using a gas with a high energy state such as O3 , and when this step is performed with the temperature of the wafer 200 being, for example, 300°C or higher (400°C or higher as an example where the effect is more pronounced), the modified layer 324 may not act as a film formation inhibiting layer, and the above-mentioned removal step may be omitted.
- an inert gas serving as a purge gas is supplied into the processing chamber 201 from each of the nozzles 249a to 249c of the substrate processing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 and exhausted from the exhaust port 231a. This causes the processing chamber 201 to be purged, and gases and reaction by-products remaining in the processing chamber 201 are removed from the processing chamber 201. Thereafter, the atmosphere in the processing chamber 201 is replaced with the inert gas, and the pressure in the processing chamber 201 is returned to normal pressure.
- the seal cap 219 is lowered by the boat elevator 115 to open the lower end of the manifold 209. Then, the processed wafers 200 are supported by the boat 217 and unloaded from the lower end of the manifold 209 to the outside of the reaction tube 203 (boat unloading). After being unloaded to the outside of the reaction tube 203, the processed wafers 200 are taken out of the boat 217.
- the modification step and the first film formation step in the same processing chamber (in-situ). This allows the modification step and the first film formation step to be performed without exposing the wafer 200 to the atmosphere, and selective growth can be performed appropriately. In other words, by performing these steps in the same processing chamber, selective growth can be performed with high selectivity. Furthermore, if the removal step can be omitted as described above, the time required to load and unload the wafer 200 can be saved by performing the modification step, the first film formation step, and the second film formation step in the same processing chamber.
- a hard mask 910 is formed on the upper surface of the wafer 200 so as to cover at least the fourth film portion 340, and the third film portion 330 is removed by etching.
- etching anisotropic etching using carbon fluoride (CF)-based gas plasma can be used, for example, as in the previous process. Note that anisotropic etching does not have to be used.
- CF carbon fluoride
- first portion 311A of first film portion 310 is removed by etching down to stopper portion 314.
- first portion 311A is removed by etching from the side surface where first portion 311A is exposed down to stopper portion 314.
- first portion 311A is removed from the end surface not covered by second film portion 320 down to stopper portion 314.
- the stopper portion 314 prevents the second portion 311B of the first film portion 310 from being etched.
- etching gas used to etch the first film portion 310, which is a Si film
- a fluorine (F)-based gas and a chlorine (Cl)-based gas can be used.
- fluorine (F 2 ) gas, chlorine (Cl 2 ) gas, and chlorine trifluoride (ClF 3 ) gas can be used.
- a gas e.g., hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas, etc.
- HF hydrogen fluoride
- a hard mask 920 is formed so as to cover at least the fourth film portion 340, and the stopper portion 314 of the first film portion 310 is removed by etching.
- the etching selectively removes the stopper portion 314, which is a SiO film, so as to leave the second portion 311B of the first film portion 310, which is a Si film, and the second film portion 320, which is a SiOC film.
- the etching method may be wet etching or dry etching using an etching agent containing fluorine (F).
- F fluorine
- the etching agent for example, an aqueous solution or gas containing hydrogen fluoride (HF) may be used.
- the hard mask 920 is removed as shown in FIG. 8D.
- etching processes in the post-processing steps may each be performed using a different etching device, or multiple processes may be performed using the same etching device.
- a stopper portion 314 is formed in a portion of the first film portion 310 of the wafer 200, the first film portion 310 is divided into a first portion 311A and a second portion 311B, and the first portion 311A is removed down to the stopper portion 314.
- a portion of the first film portion 310 i.e., the first portion 311A, can be removed with precision, leaving the second portion 311B.
- a groove 350 is formed in the wafer 200 penetrating the first film portion 310 and the second film portion 320, a first raw material (first film forming agent) is supplied into the groove 350, and at least a part of the molecular structure of the molecules that make up the raw material is selectively deposited on the first end surface 312 of the first film portion 310 exposed in the groove 350, thereby forming a stopper portion 314. Therefore, even if the first film portion 310 is covered with the second film portion 320, the stopper portion 314 can be formed at a desired position of the first film portion 310.
- first raw material first film forming agent
- a modified layer 324 that inhibits adsorption of the first raw material is selectively formed on the second end surface 322 of the second film portion 320 exposed in the groove portion 350. This makes it possible to suppress or prevent the formation of a stopper portion 314 on the second end surface 322 of the second film portion 320.
- the modified layer 324 exposed in the groove portion 350 is removed, and then the second film portion 320 is formed in the groove portion 350 to backfill it. This makes it possible to avoid the modified layer 324 hindering the backfilling of the second film portion 320.
- the stopper portion 314 is removed to leave the second portion 311B. This allows the second portion 311B of the first film portion 310 to be left with high precision.
- the periphery of the first film portion 310 is covered with the second film portion 320. Furthermore, the other end face of the second portion 311B of the first film portion 310 is covered with the fourth film portion 340. Therefore, when etching the first part 311A and the stopper portion 314 of the first film portion 310, the second film portion 320 can prevent the circumferential surface perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first film portion 310 from being etched, and the fourth film portion 340 can prevent the other end face of the second portion 311B from being etched.
- a plurality of first film portions 310 are formed at intervals within the second film portion 320. Therefore, by forming the groove portion 350 in the wafer 200, the stopper portion 314 can be formed at the same position of the plurality of first film portions 310.
- the stopper portions 314 in the same position on the first film portion 310 of the wafer 200 in this manner, the first portions 311A of the multiple first film portions 310 can each be removed in the same manner. Similarly, the second portions 311B of the multiple first film portions 310 can each be left aligned in the same manner.
- the first film portion 310 of the wafer 200 is an oxygen-free film
- the second film portion 320 is an oxygen-containing film. Therefore, the OH termination density of the second end surface 322 of the second film portion 320, which is an oxygen-containing film, can be made greater than the OH termination density of the first end surface 312 of the first film portion 310, which is an oxygen-free film. Therefore, the modifying agent can be selectively reacted with and adsorbed onto the OH groups of the second end surface 322 of the second film portion 320 exposed in the groove portion 350, making it easy to selectively form the modified layer 324.
- the stopper portion 314 of the wafer 200 is an oxygen-containing film. Therefore, when the first portion 311A of the first film portion 310, which is a non-oxygen-containing film, is removed by etching, it can function as an etching stopper film against an etching agent that has the effect of etching non-oxygen-containing films.
- the first film portion 310 of the wafer 200 is made of a Si film
- the stopper portion 314 is made of a SiO film
- the second film portion 320 is made of a SiOC film.
- a cycle of alternating between a raw material supply step and a reactant supply step is performed a predetermined number of times, and a catalyst is supplied to the wafer 200 in at least one of the raw material supply step and the reactant supply step, thereby enabling selective growth to be performed with good controllability under the low temperature conditions described above.
- a recess 352 is formed in the second film portion 320 of the wafer 200 shown in FIG. 9A so that a part of the first film portion 310 is exposed.
- a hard mask 930 is formed on the upper surface of the wafer 200, and the second film portion 320 is selectively removed by etching so that the first film portion 310 remains, to form the recess 352.
