  • Publication number: 20230420294
    Abstract: A substrate processing method of processing a substrate having a base film includes a loading process of loading the substrate into a processing container, a first process of performing a first plasma process in a state where the loaded substrate is held at a first position by raising substrate support pins of a stage arranged in the processing container, and a second process of performing a second plasma process while holding the substrate at a second position by lowering the substrate support pins.

  • Publication number: 20230361163
    Abstract: This film formation method comprises: a first film formation step; a second film formation step; and a third film formation step. In the first film formation step, a dielectric film is formed on a first conductive film. In the second film formation step, a metal oxide film is formed on the dielectric film. In addition, in the second film formation step, a metal oxide film is formed using heated oxygen gas and a vapor of an organic metal compound. In the third film formation step, a second conductive film is formed on the metal oxide film.

  • Publication number: 20230102051
    Abstract: A film forming method includes: a loading process of loading a substrate into a processing container; a first process of forming an interface layer having an amorphous structure or a microcrystalline structure on the substrate by plasma of a first mixed gas including a carbon-containing gas; and a second process of forming a graphene film on the interface layer by plasma of a second mixed gas including the carbon-containing gas.

  • Publication number: 20230042099
    Abstract: A film forming method of forming a carbon film includes: cleaning an interior of a processing container by using oxygen-containing plasma in a state in which no substrate is present inside the processing container; subsequently, extracting and removing oxygen inside the processing container by using plasma in the state in which no substrate is present inside the processing container; and subsequently, loading a substrate into the processing container and forming the carbon film on the substrate through plasma CVD using a processing gas including a carbon-containing gas, wherein the cleaning, the extracting and removing the oxygen, and the forming the carbon film are repeatedly performed.

  • Publication number: 20220165568
    Abstract: A method for forming a hexagonal boron nitride film comprises: providing a substrate; and generating plasma of a boron-containing gas and a nitrogen-containing gas in a plasma generation region located at a position apart from the substrate to form the hexagonal boron nitride film on the surface of the substrate by plasma CVD using plasma diffused from the plasma generation region.
