明細書
酸化膜形成方法
技術分野
本発明は、 酸化膜形成方法に係る。 背景技術
従来、 現在、 半導体材料または金属材料もしくは合金材料の表面への酸化膜の 形成は、 酸化性雰囲気中において、 その材料を、 5 0 0 °C以上の温度に加熱する ことにより行っていた。
しかし、 例えば、 半導体基板上に、 各種薄膜を形成後、 その各種薄膜の一部を 取り除 L、て半導体基板の表面を露出させ、 該露出させた表面に酸化膜を形成する ような場合、 薄膜の種類によっては 4 0 0 °C以上に基板を加熱することはできな いことがある。 また、 4 0 0 °C以上の温度に加熱すると、 半導体基板上に形成さ れている膜相互の反応が生じたりして膜の品質の低下をまねいてします。
従って、 4 0 0 °C以下の温度で高品質の酸化物を形成することが可能な酸化膜 形成方法が望まれている。
本発明は、 4 0 0 °C以下の低温で、 高品質の酸化膜の形成が可能な酸化膜形成 方法を提供することを目的とする。 発明の開示
上記課題を解決するための本発明の酸化膜形成方法は、 半導体材料または金属 材料もしくは合金材料の表面に、 運動エネルギーが 9 0 以下の不活性ガスィ ォンを照射するとともに、 酸素ガス分子を供袷することにより前記材料の酸化物 薄膜を、 前記材料表面に形成することを特徴とする。 作用
本発明方法は、 例えば、 A rイオンで、 金属表面をたたくと、 欠陥を生じない で表面の原子層を活性化できる。 2 δ e Vのイオンは表面の 2〜3原子層内にと どまるため表面にのみそのエネルギーを与える： そして、 実効的に金属表面の ·；£ 度を上昇させることができる。 同時に酸素ガスを成膜室内に導入すると、 酸素分 子や放電によって生じた酸素ラジカルが金属表面に吸着し、 A rイオン照射によ り高温になった金属表面で金属と反応を起こす。 これにより金属の酸化が進行す る。
従って、 基板温度を 400°Cまで上昇させなくとも、 例えば、 1 50から 200°Cでも 5〜1 Onmの金属酸化膜 （例えば、 Ta2〇5膜） を形成すること ができる。 なお、 照射するイオンのエネルギーを 90 eV以下に保てば下地にダ メージを与えることはない。
なお、 このように、 90 eV以下のイオンを照射するための装置をしては、 例 えば、 図 1あるいは図 2に示すような装置を用い、 02ガスと A rガスとを装置内 に導入し、 基板側の周波数を 5 0 MH z、 ターゲッ ト側の周波数を 2 0 0 MH z、 R Fノ、。ヮーを 1 0〜 5 0 Wとし、 l mT o r r〜数 1 OmTo r rの雰囲気中でプラズマを発生させて行えばよい。 図面の簡単な説明
図 1は本発明において用いる酸化膜形成装置例である。 図 2は本発明において 用いる酸化膜形成装置例である。 発明を実施するための最良の形態
以下に本発明の実施例を説明する。
(実施例 1 )
本例では、 図 1に示す装置を用い、 02ガスと A rガスとを装置内に導入し、 基 板側の周波数を 50MHz、 ターゲット側の周波数を 200MHz、 RFパワー を 2\Vとし、 ImTo r r〜数 1 OmTo r rの雰囲気中でプラズマを発生させ て、 S iウェハ表面に酸化膜を形成した。 なお、 02ガスは 10— 3To r rとし
S iウェハの温度を 400°Cに保持し、 5 nmの酸化膜が形成されるまでの時 間を測定したところ、 約 30分であった。
, 酸化を促進する HC 1を含んた' (HC 1 /O ' ガス中て、 S iウェハを 400°Cに保持し、 5 nmの酸化膜が形成されるまでの時間を測定したところ約 3万時間であつた。 産業上の利用可能性
本発明によれば、 400°C以下の低温で、 他の膜の品質を劣化させることなく 酸化膜の形成が可能となる。
