Abstract

There is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, including forming a seed layer on a substrate by performing a cycle a predetermined number of times, the cycle including supplying a halogen-based first processing gas to the substrate; supplying a non-halogen-based second processing gas to the substrate; and supplying a hydrogen-containing gas to the substrate. Further, the method further includes forming a film on the seed layer by supplying a third processing gas to the substrate.

Claims (41)

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

forming a seed layer on a substrate by performing a cycle one or more times, the cycle including:

supplying a halogen-based first processing gas to the substrate;

supplying a non-halogen-based second processing gas to the substrate; and

supplying a hydrogen-containing gas to the substrate; and

forming a film on the seed layer by supplying a third processing gas to the substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer includes a period in which the act of supplying the halogen-based first processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes exhausting the halogen-based first processing gas from a space where the substrate exists, and

wherein the act of forming the seed layer includes a period in which the act of exhausting the halogen-based first processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes exhausting the halogen-based first processing gas from a space where the substrate exists, and

wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes a period in which the act of exhausting the halogen-based first processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer includes a period in which the act of supplying the non-halogen-based second processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes exhausting the non-halogen-based second processing gas from a space where the substrate exists, and

wherein the act of forming the seed layer includes a period in which the act of exhausting the non-halogen-based second processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes exhausting the non-halogen-based second processing gas from a space where the substrate exists, and

wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes a period in which the act of exhausting the non-halogen-based second processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer includes a period in which the act of supplying the halogen-based first processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed and a period in which the act of supplying the non-halogen-based second processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes:

exhausting the halogen-based first processing gas from a space where the substrate exists; and

exhausting the non-halogen-based second processing gas from the space where the substrate exists, and

wherein the act of forming the seed layer further includes:

a period in which the act of exhausting the halogen-based first processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed; and

a period in which the act of exhausting the non-halogen-based second processing gas and the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas are simultaneously performed.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a supply flow rate of the hydrogen-containing gas simultaneously supplied with the halogen-based first processing gas is set to be smaller than a supply flow rate of the hydrogen-containing gas simultaneously supplied with the non-halogen-based second processing gas.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein a supply flow rate of the hydrogen-containing gas simultaneously supplied with the halogen-based first processing gas is set to be larger than a supply flow rate of the hydrogen-containing gas simultaneously supplied with the non-halogen-based second processing gas.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of forming the seed layer includes a period in which the act of supplying the halogen-based first processing gas and the act of supplying the non-halogen-based second processing gas are alternately performed under a state where the act of supplying the hydrogen-containing gas is performed.

13. A substrate processing apparatus comprising:

a process chamber configured to accommodate a substrate;

a first supply system configured to supply a halogen-based first processing gas to the substrate in the process chamber;

a second supply system configured to supply a non-halogen-based second processing gas to the substrate in the process chamber;

a third supply system configured to supply a third processing gas to the substrate in the process chamber;

a fourth supply system configured to supply a hydrogen-containing gas to the substrate in the process chamber; and

a control part configured to control the first supply system, the second supply system, the third supply system, and the fourth supply system to perform:

forming a seed layer on the substrate in the process chamber by performing a cycle one or more times, the cycle including supplying the halogen-based first processing gas to the substrate, supplying the non-halogen-based second processing gas to the substrate, and supplying the hydrogen-containing gas to the substrate; and

forming a film on the seed layer by supplying the third processing gas to the substrate.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform, on a substrate processing apparatus, a process in a process chamber of the substrate processing apparatus, the process comprising:

forming a seed layer on a substrate by performing a cycle one or more times, the cycle including:

supplying a halogen-based first processing gas to the substrate;

supplying a non-halogen-based second processing gas to the substrate; and

supplying a hydrogen-containing gas to the substrate to remove a halogen material, which remains after the act of supplying the halogen-based first processing gas, from the process chamber; and

forming a film on the seed layer by supplying a third processing gas to the substrate.
