Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments relate to a composition for manufacturing a semiconductor device, an apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the composition, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using the composition. Background Technology
[0002] Acetylene is widely used in various industries, including welding and chemical synthesis. In particular, it is more widely used in the electronics industry as a source material for depositing carbon and carbon-containing films. Applications include depositing amorphous carbon hard mask films.
[0003] However, acetylene presents several challenges in storage due to its thermal instability. Even in the absence of air or oxygen, acetylene can decompose into carbon and hydrogen under high pressure and high temperature storage conditions.
[0004] In particular, acetylene is known to be explosive under pressure greater than 15 psig. Therefore, the storage and transportation of acetylene remains a challenge. One way to overcome this problem is to dissolve the acetylene in acetone, which is contained in a metal bottle filled with a porous material. Since acetylene is highly soluble in acetone, acetone is commonly used for this purpose. At a temperature of approximately 15°C and atmospheric pressure, 1 volume of liquid acetone can absorb 25 volumes of gaseous acetylene, and for every additional atmosphere of pressure, it will continue to absorb an additional 25 volumes of acetylene (The Encyclopedia Britannica: ADictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature and General Information, Hugh Chisholm, University Press 1910). Furthermore, the acetylene stream recovered from the acetone solution may contain a significant amount of acetone vapor. Summary of the Invention

Additionally, in the deposition process of amorphous carbon films, hydrogen gas can be supplied to the chamber together with acetylene gas at a flow rate of approximately 100 sccm to 3000 sccm.
[0220] Furthermore, in the deposition process of amorphous carbon films, the process time can be from about 10 seconds to about 1000 seconds.
[0221] Reference Figures 3 to 7 In order to manufacture the semiconductor device according to the embodiment, the following process can be performed.
[0222] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to form the semiconductor device according to the embodiment, an etch target layer 610, a hard mask layer 620 and a photoresist layer 630 may be formed on the semiconductor substrate 600.

[0231] The conductive pattern 640 can be used as a conductive line in a semiconductor device according to an embodiment. The semiconductor device according to an embodiment can be used as a word line in a volatile memory device such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM).
[0232] Because the acetylene solution according to the embodiment contains a solvent, high-quality acetylene can be supplied to the deposition chamber. Therefore, the acetylene gas supplied by the acetylene supply device can provide a hard mask layer 620 with improved etch selectivity. In particular, the acetylene supply device according to the embodiment can provide a hard mask layer 620 containing high-quality amorphous carbon because the amount of dissolved solvent is reduced.

[0247] After that, as Figure 13As shown, the sacrificial pattern 731 can be selectively removed. The sacrificial pattern 731 can be removed by a wet etching process. Because the sacrificial pattern 731 has high etching selectivity relative to the first molding layer 710 and the second molding layer 720, the sacrificial pattern 731 can be selectively removed.
[0248] The sacrificial pattern 731 can be removed to form a through hole 740 including a first hole 713 and a second hole 723 in the first molding layer 710 and the second molding layer 720.

[0265] The first gap-filling layer 831 and the second gap-filling layer 832 are formed from acetylene gas contained in an acetylene solution according to the embodiment. Therefore, the first gap-filling layer 831 and the second gap-filling layer 832 can be densely filled in the fine gaps.
[0266] Because the solvent has a suitable Henry's constant, acetylene can be appropriately dissolved.
