Problems solved by technology

Because reaction by-products often adhere to the inner walls of the chamber, the cleaning process should be performed more frequently, which results in longer processing times and higher costs
At the same time, reaction by-products are not easily removed from the chamber during cleaning
Thus, the quality of the amorphous carbon film deteriorates, and the part replacement cycle of the chamber is shortened

[0063] First Example: Characterization of Amorphous Carbon Films as a Function of RF Power

[0064] In the first example of the present invention, hexene was supplied at a flow rate of 0.8 g / min (C 6 h 12 ), argon gas was supplied at a flow rate of 300 sccm and helium gas was supplied at a flow rate of 800 sccm to form an amorphous carbon film. Additionally, a distance of 350 mils was maintained between the showerhead and the substrate. Figures 2A to 2D The changes of stress, refractive index (n), light absorption coefficient (k) and deposition rate of amorphous carbon film according to RF power are illustrated respectively.

[0065] Figure 2A It is a graph illustrating the change of the stress of the amorphous carbon film according to the RF power. see Figure 2A , as the RF power increased, the stress increased slightly and then decreased significantly after the RF power became 1600W.

[0071] Second example: change of characteristics of amorphous carbon film depending on the amount of reaction source to be supplied

[0072] In a second example of the present invention, hexene (C 6 h 12 ), argon gas was supplied at a flow rate of 300 sccm and helium gas was supplied at a flow rate of 200 sccm to form an amorphous carbon film. Additionally, a distance of 320 mils was maintained between the showerhead and the substrate. In this situation, Figures 3A to 3D Changes in the stress, refractive index (n), light absorption coefficient (k) and deposition rate of the amorphous carbon film depending on the amount of the reaction source to be supplied are described respectively.

[0073] Figure 3A is a graph illustrating that the stress of the amorphous carbon film changes depending on the amount of the reaction source to be supplied. see Figure 3A , as the amount of reactive source to be supplied increases, the stress decreases.

[0079] Example 3: Characteristics of an amorphous carbon film depending on the distance between the shower head and the substrate

[0080] In a third example of the present invention, hexene (C 6 h 12 ), argon gas was supplied at a flow rate of 300 sccm and helium gas was supplied at a flow rate of 800 sccm to form an amorphous carbon film. Additionally, the distance between the showerhead and the substrate was varied in the range of 250 to 350 mils. In this situation, Figures 4A to 4D The variation of stress, refractive index (n), light absorption coefficient (k) and deposition rate of amorphous carbon film according to the distance between the shower head and the substrate are illustrated respectively.

[0081] Figure 4A is a graph illustrating how the stress of an amorphous carbon film varies depending on the distance between the shower head and the substrate. see Figure 4A , as the distance between the showerhead and the substrate becomes larger, the stress decrea...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of forming an amorphous carbon film and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the method. An amorphous carbon film is formed on a substrate by vaporizing a liquid hydrocarbon compound, which has chain structure and one double bond, and supplying the compound to a chamber, and ionizing the compound. The amorphous carbon film is used as a hard mask film. It is possible to easily control characteristics of the amorphous carbon film, such as a deposition rate, an etching selectivity, a refractive index (n), a light absorption coefficient (k) and stress, so as to satisfy user's requirements. In particular, it is possible to lower the refractive index (n) and the light absorption coefficient (k). As a result, it is possible to perform a photolithography process without an antireflection film that prevents the diffuse reflection of a lower material layer. Further, a small amount of reaction by-product is generated during a deposition process, and it is possible to easily remove reaction by-products that are attached on the inner wall of a chamber. For this reason, it is possible to increase a cycle of a process for cleaning a chamber, and to increase parts changing cycles of a chamber. As a result, it is possible to save time and cost.
