Description
まず、ゲートバルブ26を開にして搬入出口25から被処理体として、表面に酸化処理すべきシリコン部分を有するウエハWをチャンバー1内に搬入し、サセプタ2上に載置する。
図1に記載したプラズマ処理装置100を用いてベアウエハ上への酸化処理を行った。まず、N2ガスを添加せずに、処理ガスとしてO2ガスとArガスを用い、処理圧力を6.65〜933Pa、O2ガス濃度を1〜100体積%の間で変化させ、マイクロ波パワー:3.8kW、温度:600℃、時間:180秒としてシリコン酸化膜を形成し、その膜厚を光学膜厚計を用いて測定した。なお、O2ガス濃度に関しては、各ガスの流量から求め、O2ガス濃度が50体積%までは、O2ガスとArガスの合計流量を1000mL/minとし、O2ガス濃度75体積%、100体積%の場合は、O2ガス流量は50体積%のときと同じ500mL/min(1000mL/min×0.5=500mL/min)とし、それに対してArガスをそれぞれ、133mL/minおよび0mL/minとした。その結果を表1に示す。この表に示すように、概括的に見て、膜質の良好となる高圧・高酸素濃度側にいくにしたがって、膜厚が薄くなること、すなわち膜形成速度が遅くなることが確認された。
