  • Publication number: 20130323915
    Abstract: A method of forming a silicon film includes a first film forming process, an etching process, a doping process, and a second film forming process. In the first film forming process, a silicon film doped with impurities containing boron is formed so as to embed a groove provided on an object to be processed. In the etching process, the silicon film formed in the first film forming process is etched. In the doping process, the silicon film etched in the etching process is doped with impurities containing boron. In the second film forming process, a silicon film doped with impurities containing boron is formed so as to embed the silicon film that is doped in the doping process.

  • Publication number: 20120103518
    Abstract: A film formation apparatus includes a gas supply mechanism for supplying an aminosilane-based gas, and a silane-based gas that does not include an amino group. Processes of forming a seed layer on a surface of the insulation film having the opening reaching the conductive substance and on a bottom surface of the opening by supplying the aminosilane-based gas into the process chamber, and forming a silicon film on the seed layer by supplying the silane-based gas that does not include the amino group into the process chamber, are sequentially performed in the process chamber.

  • Patent number: 7273818
    Abstract: In a film-formation method for a semiconductor process, a silicon germanium film is formed on a target substrate by CVD in a process field within a reaction container. Then, a silicon coating film is formed to cover the silicon germanium film by CVD in the process field, while increasing temperature of the process field from the first temperature to a second temperature. Then, a silicon film is formed on the coating film by CVD in the process field.

  • Patent number: 5695528
    Abstract: A treating agent for cellulosic textile materials includes a water-soluble phosphonium salt of phosphorus-containing oxoacid and polycarboxylic acid as active ingredients, and a process of treating cellulosic textile materials uses the treating agent. The treating agent eliminates the necessity of the use of a substance releasing formaldehyde during wash and wear treatment and enables non-formaldehyde wash and wear treatment, and the cellulosic textile material treated by the treating agent is completely free from formaldehyde, retains enough of the strength thereof, and undergoes neither discoloration nor fibrillation.
