Abstract: A film-forming apparatus includes a heat generator exposed to a film-forming gas drawn into a chamber to generate film formation species. A film-forming gas supply system supplies the film-forming gas into the chamber. A control unit sets the heat generator in a non-heated state during a cleaning process that discharges a film formation residue from the chamber. A cleaning gas supplying system supplies a cleaning gas including ClF3 into the chamber. A temperature adjustment unit adjusts the chamber to a target temperature from 100° C. or higher to 200° C. or less in the cleaning process. A discharge system discharges a reaction product produced by a reaction between the film formation residue and the cleaning gas from the chamber.

Abstract: A barrier film of a semiconductor device is formed. The present invention forms a middle layer having copper as a main component and including a predetermined quantity of diffusible metal with the addition of a reaction gas, by sputtering an alloy target having copper as a main component with the addition of a diffusible metal, while supplying a reaction gas including oxygen or nitrogen. Since contents of the diffusible metal are accurately controlled when heating the middle layer, the barrier film is certainly formed. Additionally, the reaction gas is added to the middle layer so that the reactivity of the diffusible metal becomes high; and accordingly, it is possible to form the barrier film at a heating temperature lower than the conventional art.
