| 20080213998 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR EXECUTING THE METHOD - The semiconductor device manufacturing method includes forming an alloy film of copper and an additive metal along a wall surface of a recess portion of an interlayer insulating film in a surface of a substrate; forming a barrier layer made of a compound of the additive metal and a constituent element of the interlayer insulating film; heating the substrate under an atmosphere containing an organic acid, an organic acid anhydride, or ketones to precipitate surplus additive metal onto a surface of the alloy film; and burying copper in the recess portion after heating the substrate. Since the organic acid, the organic acid anhydride, and the ketones have a reducing power for Cu, an oxidation of Cu in the alloy film is suppressed while a barrier layer made of a compound of the additive metal and a constituent element of the insulating film is formed. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20100108108 | SUBSTRATE MOUNTING TABLE, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING SURFACE OF SUBSTRATE MOUNTING TABLE - A substrate mounting table includes a mounting table main body whose top surface and side surface are covered with an upper cover member. Surface treatment is performed partially to a substrate surrounding region disposed outside a substrate mounting region on a top surface of the upper cover member, so that the substrate surrounding region is smoother than the substrate mounting region. The substrate mounting region is covered by a wafer when the wafer is mounted thereon. Thus, for instance, a metal component generated upon removal of a metal oxide film from the substrate is not easily adhered on the mounting table, and is easily removed if adhered. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090042384 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND TARGET SUBSTRATE PROCESSING SYSTEM - A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes removing copper deposits, by use of an organic acid gas and an oxidizing gas, from a surface of a second interlayer insulation film having a groove formed therein and reaching a copper-containing electric connector member. The second interlayer insulation film is disposed on a first interlayer insulation film provided with the electric connector member. The method then includes reducing a surface of the electric connector member exposed at a bottom of the groove of the second interlayer insulation film; forming a barrier layer on the second interlayer insulation film; and forming a copper-containing conductive film to fill the groove of the second interlayer insulation film. | 02-12-2009 |

Then, the method includes unloading from the chamber the target substrate processed by the removal of the copper-containing substance, and depositing a coating film inside the chamber, in which the target substrate processed by the removal of the copper-containing substance is no longer present, thereby covering copper-containing scattered particles left inside the chamber. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090204252 | SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A substrate processing method includes a first step of forming a metal complex by allowing a processing gas containing an organic compound to be adsorbed by a metal layer formed on a target substrate while setting the target substrate to be kept at a first temperature, and a second step of sublimating the metal complex by heating the target substrate to maintain it at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. | 08-13-2009 |
