Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for forming an amorphous silicon thin film, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the same, and a semiconductor device manufactured thereby. The present invention discloses a method for forming an amorphous silicon thin film, wherein the method includes a first step (S 10 ) of providing a first gas containing silicon and a second gas containing nitrogen on a substrate ( 100 ) to form a first amorphous silicon layer ( 310 b ), and a second step (S 20 ) of providing a first gas containing silicon on the substrate ( 100 ) having the first amorphous silicon layer ( 310 b ) formed thereon to form a second amorphous silicon layer ( 300 a ).

Claims (18)

1. A method for forming an amorphous silicon thin film, the method comprising:

a first step (S 10 ) of providing a first gas containing silicon and a second gas containing nitrogen on a substrate ( 100 ) to form a first amorphous silicon layer ( 310 b ); and

a second step (S 20 ) of providing the first gas containing silicon on the substrate ( 100 ) having the first amorphous silicon layer ( 310 b ) formed thereon to form a second amorphous silicon layer ( 300 a ),

wherein a supply flow rate of the first gas in the first step (S 10 ) and a supply flow rate of the first gas in the second step (S 20 ) are different from each other,

wherein the method is performed while changing the supply flow rate of the first gas in the first step (S 10 ) to an initial supply flow rate of the first gas in the second step (S 20 ).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first step (S 10 ) is performed while gradually decreasing a supply flow rate of the second gas in a gradual manner.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first step (S 10 ) is performed while decreasing a supply flow rate of the second gas in a stepwise manner.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein an initial supply flow rate of the second gas in the first step (S 10 ) is 1 to 25% of an initial supply flow rate of the first gas in the first step (S 10 ).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first gas is SiH 4 .

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second gas is at least one of NH 3 and N 2 .

7. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising:

an amorphous silicon thin film formation step of forming an amorphous silicon thin film on a substrate ( 100 ); and

an etching step of etching the amorphous silicon thin film formed on the substrate ( 100 ), wherein the amorphous silicon thin film formation step further comprises:

a first step (S 10 ) of providing a first gas containing silicon and a second gas containing nitrogen on the substrate ( 100 ) to form a first amorphous silicon layer ( 310 b ); and

a second step (S 20 ) of providing the first gas containing silicon on the substrate ( 100 ) having the first amorphous silicon layer ( 310 b ) formed thereon to form a second amorphous silicon layer ( 300 a ),

wherein a supply flow rate of the first gas in the first step (S 10 ) and a supply flow rate of the first gas in the second step (S 20 ) are different from each other,

wherein the method is performed while changing the supply flow rate of the first gas in the first step (S 10 ) to an initial supply flow rate of the first gas in the second step (S 20 ).

8. A semiconductor device manufactured by the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 7 .
