  • Patent number: 11961733
    Abstract: There is included forming an oxide film on a substrate by alternately performing: forming the first oxide film containing an atom X by performing a first cycle including non-simultaneously performing forming a first layer including a component in which a first functional group is bonded to the atom X, and forming a second layer containing the atom X and oxygen by oxidizing the first layer; and forming the second oxide film containing the atom X by performing a second cycle including non-simultaneously performing forming a third layer including a component in which the first functional group is bonded to the atom X, and forming a fourth layer containing the atom X and oxygen by oxidizing the third layer, under a processing condition that an oxidizing power is higher than an oxidizing power when oxidizing the first layer.

  • Publication number: 20230360904
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes forming a film containing a predetermined element, oxygen, and nitrogen on the substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including: (a) supplying a first precursor containing the predetermined element to the substrate; (b) supplying a second precursor having a molecular structure different from a molecular structure of the first precursor and containing the predetermined element and oxygen; (c) supplying an oxidizing agent to the substrate; and (d) supplying a nitriding agent to the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230067218
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: forming an oxide film containing an atom X of a precursor on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times. The cycle including non-simultaneously performing: (a) forming a first layer containing a component in which a first group is bonded to the atom X on the substrate by supplying the precursor having a molecular structure in which the first and second groups are bonded to the atom X, to the substrate, the first group containing an alkoxy group, and the second group containing at least one of an amino group, an alkyl group, a halogeno group, a hydroxy group, a hydro group, an aryl group, a vinyl group, and a nitro group; and (b) forming a second layer containing the atom X by supplying an oxidizing agent to the substrate to oxidize the first layer.

  • Patent number: 11527402
    Abstract: There is provided a technique that includes: forming an oxide film containing a central atom X of a precursor on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including non-simultaneously performing: (a) forming a first layer containing a component in which a first group is bonded to the central atom X on the substrate by supplying the precursor having a molecular structure in which the first group and a second group are bonded to the central atom X and having a bonding energy between the first group and the central atom X that is higher than a bonding energy between the second group and the central atom X, to the substrate; and (b) forming a second layer containing the central atom X by supplying an oxidizing agent to the substrate to oxidize the first layer, wherein in (a), the precursor is supplied under a condition in which the second group is desorbed and the first group is not desorbed from the central atom X contained in the precursor and the central atom X is adsorbed on
