  • Patent number: 9984887
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a film on a substrate by time-divisionally and sequentially performing: (a) supplying a precursor gas to the substrate and causing precursor molecules, which are contained in the precursor gas and which contains a main element and ligands, to be adsorbed onto the substrate; (b) supplying a compound containing an electron withdrawing group to the substrate onto which the precursor molecules are adsorbed, and causing the compound containing the electron withdrawing group to be adsorbed to the ligands contained in the precursor molecules; and (c) supplying a reaction gas to the substrate onto which the precursor molecules and the compound containing the electron withdrawing group are adsorbed, causing the ligands and the compound containing the electron withdrawing group to be desorbed from the substrate, and causing the main element contained in the precursor molecules to react with the reaction gas.

  • Publication number: 20160293421
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a metal-containing film including a first element that is a metal element and a second element by performing a predetermined number of times in a time-division manner a cycle of supplying an organic metal source gas containing the first element to a substrate, supplying a halogen-based metal source gas containing the first element to the substrate and supplying a reaction gas, which contains the second element and which reacts with the first element, to the substrate, wherein a value of film stress of the metal-containing film is controlled by controlling at least one value of a supply flow rate and a supply time of the organic metal source gas in the act of supplying an organic metal source gas.

  • Publication number: 20160196980
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technology capable of removing impurities remaining in a thin film when the film is formed and modifying a characteristic of the thin film according to a change in impurity concentration. There is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including: (a) repetitively supplying a plurality of gases including elements constituting a film in temporally separated pulses (in non-simultaneous manner) to form the film on the substrate; and (b) exciting a modifying gas including a reducing gas and at least one of a nitriding gas and an oxidizing gas by plasma and supplying the modifying gas excited by plasma to modify the film.
