METHOD OF DEPOSITING A FILM AND FILM DEPOSITION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method of depositing a film for forming a silicon film on a substrate, which is mounted on a turntable and can pass by rotation through a first process area and a second process area, which are separately arranged along a peripheral direction in a chamber substantially in a cylindrical shape set to have a first temperature capable of cutting a Si—
- H bond, the method comprising;
a molecular layer deposition step of supplying a Si2H6 gas set to have a second temperature less than the first temperature when the substrate passes through the first process area thereby forming a SiH3 molecular layer on a surface of the substrate; and
a hydrogen desorption step of causing the substrate, on the surface of which the SiH3 molecular layer is formed, to pass through the second process area maintained to have the first temperature thereby cutting the Si—
H bond and leaving only a silicon atomic layer on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract
A disclosed method of depositing a silicon film on a substrate mounted on a turntable and can pass by rotation through a first process area and a second process area, which are separately arranged along a peripheral direction in a cylindrical chamber set to have a first temperature capable of cutting a Si—H bond includes a molecular layer deposition step of supplying a Si2H6 gas set to have a second temperature less than the first temperature when the substrate passes through the first process area thereby forming a SiH3 molecular layer on a surface of the substrate, and a hydrogen desorption step of causing the substrate, on a surface of which the SiH3 molecular layer is formed, to pass through the second process area maintained to have the first temperature thereby cutting the Si—H bond and leaving only a silicon atomic layer on the surface of the substrate.

14. A film deposition apparatus comprising:
-
a chamber that is substantially in a cylindrical shape and is set to have a first temperature capable of cutting a Si—
H bond;a turntable, which is provided inside the chamber and is rotatable and on which a substrate is mounted; a first process area, which is provided in the chamber in a peripheral direction, and inside which a Si2H6 gas having a second temperature less than the first temperature is supplied, a SiH3 molecular layer is formed on the substrate by a molecular layer deposition method when the substrate passes through the first process area along with a rotation of the turntable; and a second process area, which is provided apart from the first process area in the peripheral direction, and inside which the Si—
H bond of the SiH3 molecular layer formed on the substrate is broken when the substrate passes through the second process area along with the rotation of the turntable to resultantly leave only a silicon atomic layer on the substrate. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
