Abstract
Abstract There is provided a technique for forming an Ru film on the bottom of a deep hole with a considerable film thickness for the lower electrode of an information storage capacity element in order to improve the yield of manufacturing DRAMs. The Ru film is formed on the side wall and the bottom of a deep hole as material for preparing the lower electrode of an information storage capacity element to be produced there under the condition of a gasification flow rate ratio of the raw materials ((Ru(C 2 H 5 C 5 H 4 ) 2 /O 2 ) is not less than 10%. Then, the ratio of the film thickness of the Ru film on the bottom “b” of the hole to the largest film thickness “a” of the Ru film in the hole is not less than 50%.
