  • Patent number: 11875998
    Abstract: A substrate processing method uses a substrate processing apparatus including a process chamber defining a processing space in the process chamber, a substrate support mounted in the process chamber to place a substrate on the substrate support, a gas sprayer for supplying a process gas onto the substrate support in the processing space, and a remote plasma generator connected to the process chamber. The method includes placing the substrate on the substrate support, continuously supplying a surface processing gas through the remote plasma generator onto the substrate, continuously supplying a purge gas onto the substrate, supplying plasma power to the remote plasma generator to activate the surface processing gas and supply the activated surface processing gas onto the substrate, and cutting off the plasma power supplied to the remote plasma generator and supplying an etching gas onto the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10985015
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technology relating to a method for fabricating a multilayer structure. In the method for fabricating the multilayer structure according to the disclosed embodiment, a first material layer including at least one atomic layer is deposited using a first source gas, which includes a first component, and an oxygen-containing reactive gas which is reactive with the first source gas. On the first material layer, a second material layer including at least one atomic layer is deposited using a second source gas, which includes a second component different from the first component, and an oxygen-containing reactive gas which is reactive with the second source gas. The step of depositing the first material layer and the step of depositing the second material layer constitute one cycle, and the cycle is performed at least once.
