  • Publication number: 20220028739
    Abstract: A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes: a barrier metal layer provided on a surface of an insulating layer; and a conductive layer having a first metal layer provided on a surface of the barrier metal layer, and a second metal layer provided on a surface of the first metal layer. The second metal layer includes an identical metal to metal of the first metal layer, and an impurity configured to remove fluorine bonded to the metal.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9963784
    Abstract: A film forming method includes: forming a thin unit film on a target substrate by supplying processing gases sequentially and intermittently into a processing space, where the target substrate is placed, in a processing chamber of a film forming apparatus while purging the processing gases with a purge gas constantly supplied into the processing space; and repeating the forming of the thin unit film to form a film having a predetermined thickness on the target substrate. A flow rate of the purge gas supplied into the processing space is set such that the film is formed in a film forming mode in which the thin unit film is formed, irrespective of a pressure in the processing chamber.
