Abstract

There is provided a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, including forming a film on a substrate by performing a cycle one or more times. The cycle includes forming a first layer containing silicon, nitrogen, and carbon by supplying a first silane-based source having a halogen-based ligand to the substrate and supplying a second silane-based source having amino groups to the substrate. The cycle also includes forming a second layer by modifying the first layer by performing supplying a reactive gas different from each of the sources, to the substrate.

Claims (27)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising forming a film on a substrate by performing a cycle one or more times, the cycle comprising:

(a) forming a first layer containing silicon, nitrogen, and carbon by performing:

(a-1) supplying a first silane-based source having a halogen-based ligand to the substrate; and

(a-2) supplying a second silane-based source having amino groups to the substrate, and

(b) forming a second layer by modifying the first layer by performing supplying a reactive gas different from each of the sources, to the substrate.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (a), one of the (a-1) or the (a-2) is performed, and thereafter the other one different from the one of the (a-1) or the (a-2) is performed, or the (a-1) and the (a-2) are simultaneously performed.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (a), the (a-1) and the (a-2) are performed in this order.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (a), the (a-2) and the (a-1) are performed in this order.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (a), the (a-1) and the (a-2) are non-simultaneously performed.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (a), the (a-2) and the (a-1) are simultaneously performed.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (b), at least one selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen-containing gas, a carbon-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas and a boron-containing gas, is supplied as the reactive gas.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (b), at least one selected from the group consisting of a carbon-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas and a boron-containing gas, is supplied as the reactive gas.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (b), at least one selected from the group consisting of a carbon-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas and a boron-containing gas, and a nitrogen-containing gas, are supplied as the reactive gas.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (b), at least one selected from the group consisting of an oxygen-containing gas and a boron-containing gas, is supplied as the reactive gas.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the (b), the first layer is modified under a condition in which a modifying reaction of the first layer is unsaturated.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first silane-based source having the halogen-based ligand, includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a silane-based source having chloro groups and a silane-based source having fluoro groups.

13. A method of processing a substrate, comprising forming a film on a substrate by performing a cycle one or more times, the cycle comprising:

(a) forming a first layer containing silicon, nitrogen, and carbon by performing supplying a first silane-based source having a halogen-based ligand to a substrate, and supplying a second silane-based source having amino groups to the substrate; and

(b) forming a second layer by modifying the first layer by performing supplying a reactive gas different from each of the sources, to the substrate.

14. A substrate processing apparatus, comprising:

a processing chamber configured to house a substrate;

a first source supply system configured to supply a first silane-based source having a halogen-based ligand to the substrate in the processing chamber;

a second source supply system configured to supply a second silane-based source having amino groups to the substrate in the processing chamber;

a reactive gas supply system configured to supply a reactive gas different from each of the sources, to the substrate in the processing chamber; and

a controller configured to control the first source supply system, the second source supply system, and the reactive gas supply system, so that a process of forming a film on the substrate is performed by performing a cycle one or more times, the cycle comprising:

(a) a process of forming a first layer containing silicon, nitrogen, and carbon by performing a process of supplying the first silane-based source to the substrate and a process of supplying the second silane-based source to the substrate, and

(b) a process of forming a second layer by modifying the first layer by performing a process of supplying a reactive gas different from each of the sources, to the substrate.
