Plasma CVD apparatus, method for forming thin film and semiconductor device
First Claim
1. A thin-film forming method comprising:
- introducing a compound having a borazine skeleton into a portion above a substrate placed inside a reaction chamber;
applying a negative charge to a feeding electrode that supports said substrate placed inside said reaction chamber;
generating a plasma inside said reaction chamber by generating a high frequency energy using a plasma generator arranged opposite to said feeding electrode via said substrate so that at the portion above said substrate said compound is brought into a reaction active state with the borazine skeleton being maintained therein; and
selectively sweeping cations out of the active components of said compound in said reaction active state onto said substrate by said negative charge applied to said feeding electrode and successively bonding the borazine skeletons of said cations to a film on said substrate and polymerizing the borazine skeletons to be deposited on said substrate,wherein said compound having a borazine skeleton is indicated by the following Formula (1);

Abstract
A plasma CVD apparatus including a reaction chamber including an inlet for supplying a compound including a borazine skeleton, a feeding electrode, arranged within the reaction chamber, for supporting a substrate and being applied with a negative charge, and a plasma generating mechanism, arranged opposite to the feeding electrode via the substrate, for generating a plasma within the reaction chamber. A method forms a thin film wherein a thin film is formed by using a compound including a borazine skeleton as a raw material, and a semiconductor device includes a thin film formed by such a method as an insulating film. The apparatus and method enable to produce a thin film wherein low dielectric constant and high mechanical strength are stably maintained for a long time and insulating characteristics are secured.
