Metal barrier film production apparatus, metal barrier film production method, metal film production method, and metal film production apparatus

摘要

A barrier metal film production apparatus, comprising: a chamber accommodating a substrate; a metallic etched member provided in the chamber at a position opposed to the substrate; source gas supply means for supplying a source gas containing a halogen into the chamber; plasma generation means which converts an atmosphere within the chamber into a plasma to generate a source gas plasma so that the etched member is etched with the source gas plasma to form a precursor from a metal component contained in the etched member and the source gas; excitation means for exciting a gas containing nitrogen in a manner isolated from the chamber; formation means for forming a metal nitride upon reaction between nitrogen excited by the excitation means and the precursor; control means which makes a temperature of the substrate lower than a temperature of the formation means to form the metal nitride as a film on the substrate for use as a barrier metal film; oxygen gas supply means for supplying an oxygen gas into the chamber immediately before formation of the most superficial layer of the barrier metal film is completed; and oxygen plasma generation means which converts the atmosphere within the chamber into a plasma to generate an oxygen gas plasma so that an oxide layer is formed on the most superficial layer of the barrier metal film.
