Abstract

According to one aspect of a technique of the present disclosure, there is provided a substrate processing method including: (a) supplying a metal-containing gas to a substrate; (b) supplying a first reducing gas to the substrate; and (c) supplying a second reducing gas different from the first reducing gas to the substrate, wherein a metal-containing film is formed on the substrate by performing (a), (b) and (c) at least once.

Claims (27)

1 . A substrate processing method comprising:

(a) supplying a metal-containing gas containing molybdenum, oxygen and chlorine to a substrate;

(b) supplying a gas constituted by hydrogen to the substrate;

(c) supplying a gas, which is different from the gas constituted by hydrogen, containing hydrogen and an element other than hydrogen to the substrate; and

(d) forming a metal-containing film on the substrate by performing (a), (b) and

(c) at least once.

2 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein (b) and (c) are performed in a manner partially in parallel in time.

3 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein (b) and (c) are started simultaneously.

4 . The substrate processing method of claim 3 , wherein (b) is terminated after (c) is terminated.

5 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein (b) is started after (c) is started.

6 . The substrate processing method of claim 5 , wherein (b) is terminated after (c) is terminated.

7 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein (c) is started after (b) is started.

8 . The substrate processing method of claim 7 , wherein (b) is terminated after (c) is terminated.

9 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein (c) is performed while performing (b).

10 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein (b) is performed after (c) is performed.

11 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein a process time of (b) is longer than a process time of (c).

12 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing gas comprises molybdenum dichloride dioxide (MoO 2 Cl 2 ) gas.

13 . The substrate processing method of claim 12 , wherein the gas containing hydrogen and the element other than hydrogen comprises phosphine (PH3) gas.

14 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein the gas constituted by hydrogen comprises H 2 gas.

15 . The substrate processing method of claim 14 , wherein the gas containing hydrogen and the element other than hydrogen comprises phosphine (PH3) gas.

16 . The substrate processing method of claim 1 , wherein the gas containing hydrogen and the element other than hydrogen comprises phosphine (PH3) gas.

17 . A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the substrate processing method of claim 1 .

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a substrate processing apparatus, by a computer, to perform:

(a) supplying a metal-containing gas containing molybdenum, oxygen and chlorine to a substrate;

(b) supplying a gas constituted by hydrogen to the substrate;

(c) supplying a gas, which is different from the gas constituted by hydrogen, containing hydrogen and an element other than hydrogen to the substrate; and

(d) forming a metal-containing film on the substrate by performing (a), (b) and (c) performed at least once.
