Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device thin film formation method in which multiple ac power sources (8, 10) of differing frequencies or a power source of a single frequency is used to generate a plasma in a reactor vessel (2); by activating a reaction gas introduced to this reaction vessel (2) using plasma discharge energy, a deposit is formed by chemical growth of the reaction gas and deposited on a sample surface (5); a mixed gas of TEOS gas with a SiX n R 4-n (where 1 ≦ n ≦ 3, Si is silicon, X is a halogen substituent, and R is an alkoxy group) silicon halide hydrocarbon gas is used as the reaction gas. This semiconductor device thin film forming method uses the PECVD method and is capable of greater densities.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 115 words
A semiconductor device thin film formation method in which multiple alternating current power sources of differing frequencies or a power source of a single frequency are used to generate a plasma in a reactor vessel; and by activating a reaction gas introduced to this reaction vessel using plasma discharge energy, a deposit is formed by chemical growth of the reaction gas on a sample surface; characterized by the fact that it makes use for the above reaction gas of a mixed gas of TEOS gas with a SiX n R 4-n (where 1 ≦ n ≦ 3, Si is silicon, X is a halogen substituent, and R is an alkoxy group) silicon halide hydrocarbon gas.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 69 words
The semiconductor device thin film formation method of claim 1, characterized by the fact that the "X" halogen substituent in the above halogen carbide hydrocarbon gas is one of the following: fluorine "F", chlorine "Cl", or bromine "Br", and the alkoxy group "R" above is one of the following: hydrogen "H", methoxy "OCH₃", ethoxy "OC₂H₅", n-propoxy "OC₃H₇", i-propoxy "OCH (CH₃)₂", n-butoxy "OC₄H₉", i-butoxy "OCH₂CH(CH₃)₂", s-butoxy "OC(CH₃)C₂H₅)", or t-butoxy "OC(CH₃)₃)".
