Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deposition of film forming materials as dust in the flange part in the lower part of substrates and the consequent contamination of the thin films on substrate surfaces by supplying an inert gas to the lower part of the reaction chamber of the vertical type CVD device. CONSTITUTION:An inner tube 3 is provided in the reaction chamber 2 consisting of a reaction chamber body 21 and the flange part 22 in the lower part thereof in the vertical type CVD device 1 and a substrate supporting boat 6 mounted with many wafers 9 in a vertical direction is placed on a supporting base 7. A gaseous raw material introducing hole 4 is provided to face upward in the lower part of the reaction chamber 2 and the gaseous raw material is passed upward between the inner tube 3 and the substrate supporting boat 6 to form thin films of Si3N4, etc., on the surface of the wafers 9; thereafter, exhaust gases are discharged from a lower discharge hole 5 of the reaction chamber 2. The inert gas, such as nitrogen, is supplied from a supplying pipe 8 in the lower part of the inner tube 3 during this operation and the flange part is filled with the gaseous nitrogen to prevent the deposition of the Si3N4 in the flange part. The peeling of the deposited films of the Si3N4 in the flange part as dust and the consequent contamination of the Si3N4 films on the wafers 9 are, therefore, obviated.

A gas introduction pipe (11) for introducing a reaction gas), a substrate support part (12) capable of supporting a substrate such as a wafer above the upward opening end of the gas introduction pipe, and a substrate support part (12) connected to the reaction chamber. It mainly consists of an exhaust pipe (13) that can exhaust the inside of the reaction chamber.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention When forming a film such as 5isN+ on a wafer or the like using the above-mentioned CVD apparatus, film growth also occurs on the flange portion below the substrate support. For this reason, we adopted a device with specifications using the inner tube shown in Figure 4, and further improved the shape of this inner tube as shown in Figure 5 to suppress film growth on the flange, or to heat the flange. This prevents the grown film from peeling off.

However, even if the shape of the inner tube is improved as in the former case, film growth still occurs in the shaded area in the figure.

Furthermore, in the latter method of heating the flange portion, if the film grown on the flange portion becomes thick, the film itself will crack (due to stress, etc.) and peeling of the film will occur. This turns into dust and adheres to the wafer substrate, such as LSI, on which a film has been formed, resulting in a decrease in wafer yield.

Additionally, an O-ring is used to heat the flange due to the need to increase the degree of sealing of the flange to maintain the degree of vacuum, but when the temperature inside the reaction chamber exceeds approximately 700°C, the flange also heats due to heat radiation. Further heating may occur, causing problems such as the O-ring being seized.
