Abstract

To provide a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device and a substrate processing apparatus capable of easily controlling a nitrogen concentration distribution in a film containing a metal atom and a silicon atom, and manufacturing a high quality semiconductor device. The method comprises a step of forming a film containing the metal atom and the silicon atom on a substrate 30 in a reaction chamber 4 , and performing a nitriding process for the film, wherein the film is formed by changing a silicon concentration at least in two stages in the step of forming a film.

Claims (13)

1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:

carrying a substrate into a reaction chamber;

processing the substrate by feeding a first source gas obtained by vaporizing a first source which is prepared by mixing plural kinds of liquid sources, and a second source gas obtained by vaporizing a second source which is prepared by mixing plural kinds of liquid sources at a mixing ratio different from that of the first source, or composed of one kind of liquid source to the substrate; and

carrying the substrate after processing out of the reaction chamber,

wherein the plural kinds of liquid sources constituting the first source are a Hf liquid source and a Si liquid source, the one kind of liquid source constituting the second source is either of the Hf liquid source or the Si liquid source, and the process means to form a Hf silicate film; and

a mixing ratio of the Si liquid source and the Hf liquid source in the first source (Si liquid source/Hf liquid source) is set to be in the range of from 100 to 1000.

2. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:

carrying a substrate into a reaction chamber;

processing the substrate by feeding a first source gas obtained by vaporizing a first source which is prepared by mixing plural kinds of liquid sources, and a second source gas obtained by vaporizing a second source which is prepared by mixing plural kinds of liquid sources at a mixing ratio different from that of the first source, or composed of one kind of liquid source to the substrate; and

carrying the substrate after processing out of the reaction chamber,

wherein the plural kinds of liquid sources constituting the first source are a Hf liquid source and a Si liquid source, the one kind of liquid source constituting the second source is either of the Hf liquid source or the Si liquid source, and the process means to form a Hf silicate film; and

a composition ratio Hf/(Hf+Si) of the Hf silicate film formed on the substrate is controlled in a depth direction in the range of from 0.1 to 1.0, by changing a supply flow rate of the first source and/or second source in the step of processing the substrate.

3. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , further comprising the step of performing a nitriding process for the Hf silicate film formed in the step of processing the substrate.
