Film Deposition Method And Film Deposition System

摘要

There is provided a film deposition method of depositing a multielement metal oxide film capable of depositing a multielement metal oxide film having a desired composition and a desired thickness in an improved repeatability. A film deposition method deposits a multielement metal oxide film on a surface of a workpiece by a film depositing process including supplying organometallic source gases generated by atomizing a plurality of organometallic compounds into a processing vessel capable of being evacuated. A dummy film deposition process corresponding to at least three cycles of the film deposition process is carried out by placing a dummy workpiece in the processing vessel and supplying the organometallic source gases into the processing vessel immediately before starting the film deposition process for depositing a multielement metal oxide film on the workpiece. Thus a multielement metal oxide film having a desired composition and a desired thickness can be deposited in an improved repeatability.
