Abstract

An oxide film capable of suppressing reflection of a lens is formed under a low temperature. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a metal-containing oxide film on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle comprising: (a) supplying a metal-containing source to the substrate; (b) supplying an oxidizing source to the substrate; and (c) supplying a catalyst to the substrate.

Claims (22)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising forming a laminated film wherein a silicon-containing oxide film and a metal-containing oxide film are alternately stacked on a substrate by alternately performing, a predetermined number of times,

(a) performing a first cycle a predetermined number of times, the first cycle comprising: supplying a silicon-containing source to the substrate; supplying an oxidizing source to the substrate; and supplying a catalyst to the substrate, or the first cycle comprising: supplying a silicon-containing source to the substrate; and supplying an oxidizing source in a plasma state to the substrate, to form the silicon-containing oxide film; and

(b) performing a second cycle a predetermined number of times, the second cycle comprising: supplying a metal-containing source to the substrate; supplying an oxidizing source to the substrate; and supplying a catalyst to the substrate, or the second cycle comprising: supplying a metal-containing source to the substrate; and supplying an oxidizing source in a plasma state to the substrate, to form the metal-containing oxide film.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the (a) and the (b) are alternately performed in forming the laminated film to gradually decrease a stacking ratio of the metal-containing oxide film with respect to the silicon-containing oxide film.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon-containing source comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of chloride, fluoride, bromide, and iodide.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon-containing source comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of hexachlorodisilane, dichlorosilane, trichlorosilane, tetrachlorosilane, and octachlorotrisilane.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal-containing source comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of chloride, fluoride, bromide, and iodide.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the metal comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of titanium, hafnium, and zirconium.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the oxidizing source comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of H 2 O, H 2 O 2 , a mixed gas of H 2 and O 3 and a mixed gas of H 2 and O 2 .

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the catalyst comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of ammonia, pyridine, trimethylamine, methylamine, triethylamine, aminopyridine, picoline, piperazine and lutidine.

9. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

(a) forming a laminated film wherein a silicon-containing oxide film and a metal-containing oxide film are alternately stacked on a substrate by alternately performing, a predetermined number of times, (a-1) performing a first cycle a predetermined number of times, the first cycle comprising: supplying a silicon-containing source to the substrate; supplying an oxidizing source to the substrate; and supplying a catalyst to the substrate, or the first cycle comprising: supplying a silicon-containing source to the substrate; and supplying an oxidizing source in a plasma state to the substrate, to form the silicon-containing oxide film; and (a-2) performing a second cycle a predetermined number of times, the second cycle comprising: supplying a metal-containing source to the substrate; supplying an oxidizing source to the substrate; and supplying a catalyst to the substrate, or the second cycle comprising: supplying a metal-containing source to the substrate; and supplying an oxidizing source in a plasma state to the substrate, to form the metal-containing oxide film; and

(b) forming a silicon-containing oxide film on the laminated film by performing a third cycle a predetermined number of times, the third cycle comprising: supplying a silicon-containing source to the substrate; supplying an oxidizing source to the substrate; and supplying a catalyst to the substrate, or the third cycle comprising: supplying a silicon-containing source to the substrate; and supplying an oxidizing source in a plasma state to the substrate.

10. A substrate processing apparatus including:

a process chamber configured to accommodate a substrate;

a silicon-containing source supply part configured to supply a silicon-containing source into the process chamber;
