  • Publication number: 20230377893
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that includes forming a ruthenium film on a conductive film formed on a substrate for manufacture of the semiconductor device, wherein the conductive film includes a metal that increases an electrical resistance between the conductive film and the ruthenium film by interfacial diffusion between the conductive film and the ruthenium film, and wherein the method comprises forming the ruthenium film on the conductive film by alternately repeating a plurality of times: forming a ruthenium thin film by supplying a ruthenium raw material gas to the substrate on which the conductive film is formed; and then supplying a boron compound gas to the ruthenium thin film.
