  • Publication number: 20220388030
    Abstract: A film forming method includes preparing a substrate having a first region in which a metal film or an oxide film of the metal film is exposed, and a second region in which an insulating film is exposed, supplying, to the substrate, an organic compound containing, in a head group, a triple bond between carbon atoms represented by Chemical Formula (1) described in the specification, causing the organic compound to be selectively adsorbed in the first region among the first region and the second region, and cleaving the triple bond in the first region and forming a hydrophobic film having a honeycomb structure of carbon atoms through polymerization.

  • Publication number: 20220372618
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including a TiN film. The method comprises: supplying TiCl4 gas to a substrate; purging the TiCl4 gas; supplying NH3 gas to the substrate; purging the NH3 gas; and supplying an inhibitor that inhibits adsorption of TiCl4 or NH3 to the substrate. A plurality of cycles each including the supplying the TiCl4 gas, the purging the TiCl4 gas, the supplying the NH3 gas, and the purging the NH3 gas are performed, at least a part of the plurality of cycles includes the supplying the inhibitor, and after the supplying the inhibitor is performed, the supplying the TiCl4 gas or the supplying the NH3 gas is performed without purging the inhibitor, or, after purging the inhibitor for a shorter time than the purging the TiCl4 gas or the purging the NH3 gas, the supplying the TiCl4 gas or the supplying the NH3 gas is performed.

  • Patent number: 10734221
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a metal oxide film with workpiece accommodated in a chamber, includes: supplying a precursor gas containing a metal complex into the chamber to form a precursor layer on the workpiece from the precursor gas; supplying an oxidizing gas into the chamber to oxidize the precursor layer so that a metal oxide layer is formed, the oxidizing gas being a gas containing H2O or a gas having a functional group containing hydrogen atoms in the metal complex and containing an oxidant to generate H2O by reaction with the functional group; supplying an H2O removal gas containing alcohols or amines into the chamber to remove H2O adsorbed onto the metal oxide layer; and executing a plurality of cycles each including the supplying a precursor gas and the supplying an oxidizing gas. At least some of the cycles includes the supplying an H2O removal gas.

  • Patent number: 10224808
    Abstract: If the capacitance of a snubber capacitor, the inductance of a coil and the magnitude of a resistor are specified such that the resonance frequency of the snubber circuit coincides with the ringing frequency of the transistor, and the impedance of the first loop at the resonance frequency becomes smaller than the impedance of the second loop at the resonance frequency, a current component due to ringing flows in the snubber circuit, and energy is consumed by the resistor. Therefore, it is possible to quickly converge ringing.

  • Publication number: 20160118589
    Abstract: Provided is an organic semiconductor film with which a desired band gap can be securely achieved. In an ultrahigh vacuum film formation device (10), 5,5?,5?,5??,5??,5???-hexabromocyclohexa-m-phenylene (CHP) powder is made to sublimate from a fuel cell (12) by the application of heat energy, bromine is made to separate out by causing the CHP molecules to collide with a catalyst metal layer (M) of a substrate (G), and a plurality of generated phenyl radicals are made to mutually bond through Ullmann reactions, thereby forming a two-dimensional network structure of carbon atoms.
