Method for depositing a film and film deposition apparatus
A method for depositing a film is provided. In the method, an object to be processed is accommodated in a process chamber, and an insulating film made of a polymer thin film is deposited on a surface of the object to be processed by supplying a first source gas composed of an acid anhydride and a second source gas composed of a diamine into the process chamber that is evacuated. Next, the insulating film is modified so as to have a barrier function by stopping the supply of the second source gas into the process chamber and continuously supplying the first source gas into the process chamber.
1. A method for depositing a film, comprising steps of:
accommodating an object to be processed in a process chamber;
depositing an insulating film made of a polymer thin film on a surface of the object to be processed by supplying a first source gas composed of an acid anhydride and a second source gas composed of a diamine into the process chamber that is evacuated; and
modifying the insulating film so as to cause the insulating film to have a barrier function by stopping the supply of the second source gas into the process chamber and continuously supplying the first source gas into the process chamber.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a process temperature in the process chamber is in a range of 20 to 450 degrees C.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a process pressure in the process chamber is in a range of 0.1 to 1.0 Torr.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the acid anhydride includes at least one material selected from a group consisting of pyromellitic anhydride, oxydiphthalic anhydride, biphthalicanhydride, carbonyldiphthalic anhydride, diphthalic anhydride, sulfonyldiphthalic anhydride, cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, cyclopentanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, and cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, and
the diamine includes at least one material selected from a group consisting of oxydianiline, decanediamine, ethylenediamine, diaminoundecan, trimethylenediamine, diaminododecane, diaminobutane, hexafluoropropane, diaminopentane, thiodianiline, aminophenyl sulfide, diaminohexane, diaminophenylphenyl sulfone, heptanediamine, diaminobenzophenone, diaminooctane, diaminononane, diaminodicyclohexylmethane, and methylcyclohexanamine.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a step of:
forming a barrier film on a surface of the modified insulating film.
