20090117271FILM FORMING APPARATUS AND A BARRIER FILM PRODUCING METHOD - A film forming apparatus is used in a semiconductor manufacturing process and a method for producing a barrier film is used for a semiconductor. When a metallic gas and a reactive gas are alternatively flown, a back-flow preventing gas and an auxiliary gas are flown, the reactive gas and the auxiliary gas are moved with the flow of the back-flow preventing gas, and radicals are produced by being in contact with them to a catalytic material. Since the metallic material gas is not in contact with the catalytic material, the catalytic material is not degraded. A shower plate may be disposed between a radical producing chamber and a reaction chamber, so that the radicals are fed into the reaction chamber through holes. Thus, a barrier film having low resistance and excellent coverage is formed.05-07-2009
