Problems solved by technology

A conventional ALD apparatus which forms the Al2O3 film is called a single wafer type apparatus in which the number of substrates to be processed in one processing furnace at a time is one to five, and an apparatus called a batch type apparatus in which 25 or more substrates are arranged in parallel to an axial direction of a reaction tube has not yet become commercially practical.
When an Al2O3 film is formed by such a vertical batch type apparatus using TMA and O3, if a TMA nozzle and an O3 nozzle separately disposed vertically in the reaction furnace, there is an adverse possibility that TMA is decompose in the TMA gas nozzle and Al (aluminum) film is formed, and if the film becomes thick, it is peeled off and becomes a foreign matter generating source.

Abstract

A substrate treatment apparatus, comprising a reaction tube (203) and a heater (207) heating a silicon wafer (200), wherein trimethyl aluminum (TMA) and ozone (O3) are alternately fed into the reaction tube (203) to generate Al2O3 film on the surface of the wafer (200). The apparatus also comprises supply tubes (232a) and (232b) for flowing the ozone and TMA and a nozzle (233) supplying gas into the reaction tube (203). The two supply tubes (232a) and (232b) are connected to the nozzle (233) disposed inside the heater (207) in a zone inside the reaction tube (203) where a temperature is lower than a temperature near the wafer (200) and the ozone and TMA are supplied into the reaction tube (203) through the nozzle (233).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus and a producing method of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a semiconductor producing apparatus which forms a film by ALD (Atomic layer Deposition) method used when an Si semiconductor device is produced, and to a producing method of a semiconductor device by the ALD method. BACKGROUND ART [0002] A film forming processing using the ALD method which is one of CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) methods will be explained briefly. [0003] The ALD method is a method in which two (or more) kinds of raw material gases used for forming a film are alternately supplied onto a substrate by one kind by one kind under certain film forming conditions (temperature, time and the like), the gases are allowed to be adsorbed by one atomic layer by one atomic layer, and a film is formed utilizing a surface reaction. [0004] That is, when an Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) film is to be produced for example, a hig...
