| 20080299728 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A semiconductor device manufacturing method includes: forming a sidewall spacer on a sidewall surface of a gate electrode; forming a pair of second conductive type source and drain regions in an active region; covering top surfaces of a semiconductor layer, a device isolation region, the sidewall spacer and the gate electrode with a metal film; reducing resistance of the source and drain regions and the gate electrode partially by making the metal film react with the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode; and removing an unreacted portion of the metal film and the sidewall spacer simultaneously by using an etchant which readily etches the unreacted portion of the metal film and the sidewall spacer while hardly etching the device isolation region, resistance-reduced portions of the gate electrode and resistance-reduced portions of the source and drain regions. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090181550 | Film formation method and apparatus for semiconductor process - A film formation process is performed to form a silicon nitride film on a target substrate within a process field configured to be selectively supplied with a first process gas containing a silane family gas and a second process gas containing a nitriding gas. The method is preset to compose the film formation process of a main stage with an auxiliary stage set at one or both of beginning and ending of the film formation process. The main stage includes an excitation period of supplying the second process gas to the process field while exciting the second process gas by an exciting mechanism. The auxiliary stage includes no excitation period of supplying the second process gas to the process field while exciting the second process gas by the exciting mechanism. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090191722 | Film formation method and apparatus for semiconductor process - A film formation method is used for forming a silicon nitride film on a target substrate by repeating a plasma cycle and a non-plasma cycle a plurality of times, in a process field configured to be selectively supplied with a first process gas containing a silane family gas and a second process gas containing a nitriding gas and communicating with an exciting mechanism for exciting the second process gas to be supplied. The method includes obtaining a relation formula or relation table that represents relationship of a cycle mixture manner of the plasma cycle and the non-plasma cycle relative to a film quality factor of the silicon nitride film; determining a specific manner of the cycle mixture manner based on a target value of the film quality factor with reference to the relation formula or relation table; and arranging the film formation process in accordance with the specific manner. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100112496 | PATTERNING METHOD - A patterning method comprises a step for forming a first film on a substrate, a step for forming a multilayer film including a resist film on the first film, a step for patterning the resist film by photolithography to form a patterned resist film having a predetermined pattern, a step for forming an silicon oxide film different from the first film on the patterned resist film and the first film by supplying a first gas containing an organic silicon and a second gas containing an activated oxygen species alternately to the substrate, a step for etching the silicon oxide film to form a sidewall spacer on the sidewall of the patterned resist film, a step for removing the patterned resist film, and a step for processing the first film by using the sidewall spacer as a mask. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100112796 | PATTERNING METHOD - Disclosed is a patterning method including: forming, on a thin film, a sacrificial film made of a material different from that of the thin film and made of SiBN; processing the sacrificial film into a pattern having a preset interval by using a photolithography technique; forming, on sidewalls of the processed sacrificial film, sidewall spacers made of a material different from those of the sacrificial film and the thin film; removing the processed sacrificial film; and processing the thin film by using the sidewall spacers as a mask. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100130015 | PATTERNING METHOD - Disclosed is a patterning method including: forming a first film on a substrate; forming a first resist film on the first film; processing the first resist film into a first resist pattern having a preset pitch by photolithography; forming a silicon oxide film on the first resist pattern and the first film by alternately supplying a first gas containing organic silicon and a second gas containing an activated oxygen species to the substrate; forming a second resist film on the silicon oxide film; processing the second resist film into a second resist pattern having a preset pitch by the photolithography; and processing the first film by using the first resist pattern and the second resist pattern as a mask. | 05-27-2010 |
