  • Publication number: 20240105465
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: (a) supplying a first gas containing a Group 14 element to a substrate including a recess; (b) supplying a second gas containing a Group 15 or Group 13 element to the substrate; (c) forming a first film containing the Group 14 element in the recess by performing (a) and (b) with the second gas at a first concentration, and stopping film formation before the recess is filled up with the first film; and (d) after (c), performing (b) with the second gas at a second concentration and heat-treating the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230349065
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: (a) forming a first film containing a Group 14 element on a substrate at a film-forming temperature; (b) performing a crystal growth of the first film by performing a heat treatment to the first film at a first temperature; and (c) moving the Group 14 element contained in at least part of the first film toward the substrate to crystallize the first film by performing the heat treatment to the first film at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.

  • Patent number: 11581200
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: etching a portion of a first film formed on a surface of a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including: supplying an etching gas into a process chamber while raising an internal pressure of the process chamber in a state in which the substrate having the first film formed on the surface of the substrate is accommodated in the process chamber; and lowering the internal pressure of the process chamber by exhausting an interior of the process chamber in a state in which supply of the etching gas into the process chamber is stopped.

  • Patent number: 10840094
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: (a) forming a silicon germanium film in an amorphous state so as to embed an inside of a recess formed on a surface of a substrate, by supplying a first silicon-containing gas and a germanium-containing gas to the substrate at a first temperature; (b) raising a temperature of the substrate from the first temperature to a second temperature, which is higher than the first temperature; and (c) forming a silicon film on the silicon germanium film by supplying a second silicon-containing gas to the substrate at the second temperature, wherein in (c), the silicon germanium film as a base of the silicon film is crystallized while the silicon film is formed.

  • Patent number: 10529560
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes (a) pre-etching a surface of a substrate made of single crystal silicon by supplying a first etching gas to the substrate; (b) forming a silicon film on the substrate with the pre-etched surface, by supplying a first silicon-containing gas to the substrate; (c) etching a portion of the silicon film by supplying a second etching gas, which has a different molecular structure from a molecular structure of the first etching gas, to the substrate; and (d) forming an additional silicon film on the etched silicon film by supplying a second silicon-containing gas to the substrate.
