Abstract

In forming a TiN film on a base material ( 10 ) by a MOCVD method, a space between a showerhead ( 3 ) and a trapping member ( 5 ) is heated by a heater ( 2 ) up to a temperature at which TDMAT is thermally decomposed, or higher. Next, source gas containing TDMAT, and so on are emitted from the showerhead ( 3 ) into a chamber ( 1 ). As a result, the TDMAT emitted into the chamber ( 1 ) is thermally decomposed into TiN, carbon, and hydrocarbon by the heater ( 2 ) in the space between the showerhead ( 3 ) and the trapping member ( 5 ). Then, the TiN, carbon, and hydrocarbon move toward the base material ( 10 ). Then, the carbon and hydrocarbon are trapped by the trapping member ( 5 ). On the other hand, the TiN passes through the trapping member ( 5 ) without being trapped to reach the base material ( 10 ). As a result, a TiN film containing neither carbon nor hydrocarbon grows on a surface of the base material ( 10 ).

Claims (27)

1. A film forming method comprising:

placing a base material on a susceptor of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, the chemical vapor deposition apparatus comprising:

a chamber;

the susceptor provided in the chamber;

a supplier supplying source gas containing organic metal into the chamber;

a heater heating the organic metal supplied by the supplier to decompose the organic metal; and

a trapper trapping carbon and hydrocarbon produced by decomposition of the organic metal before the organic metal reaches the susceptor; and

growing a film on the base material by chemical vapor deposition.

2. The film forming method according to claim 1 , wherein a trapper containing a platinum group element is used as the trapper.

3. The film forming method according to claim 1 , wherein a trapper containing at least one kind of element selected from a group consisting of platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), and iridium (Ir) is used as the trapper.

4. The film forming method according to claim 1 , wherein organic metal containing titanium (Ti) and nitrogen (N) is used as the organic metal.

5. The film forming method according to claim 4 , wherein a trapper allowing passage of titanium (Ti) and nitrogen (N) is used as the trapper.

6. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:

placing a base material on a susceptor of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, the chemical vapor deposition apparatus comprising:

a chamber;

the susceptor provided in the chamber;

a supplier supplying source gas containing organic metal into the chamber;
