The present invention provides an electronic component manufacturing method including a step of embedding a metal film. An embodiment of the present invention includes a first step of depositing a barrier layer containing titanium nitride on an object to be processed on which a concave part is formed and a second step of filling a low-melting-point metal directly on the barrier layer under a temperature condition allowing the low-melting-point metal to flow, by a PCM sputtering method while forming a magnetic field by a magnet unit including plural magnets which are arranged at grid points of a polygonal grid so as to have different polarities between the neighboring magnets.

Electronic component manufacturing method including step of embedding metal film

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device using a PVD method and enabling achievement of a desired effective work function and reduction in leak current without increasing an equivalent oxide thickness. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a substrate on which an insulating film having a relative permittivity higher than that of a silicon oxide film is formed; and depositing a metal nitride film on the insulating film. The metal nitride depositing step is a step of sputtering deposition in an evacuatable chamber using a metal target and a cusp magnetic field formed over a surface of the metal target by a magnet mechanism in which magnet pieces are arranged as grid points in such a grid form that the adjacent magnet pieces have their polarities reversed from each other.

Method and apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor device

A plasma processing apparatus includes a chamber, substrate stage, electrode, conductive members, and deposition shield. The chamber is maintained at a predetermined potential. The substrate stage serves to hold a substrate within the chamber. The electrode serves to generate a plasma inside the chamber by applying AC power to the chamber. The conductive members connect the substrate stage and the side wall of the chamber by surrounding the plasma space between the substrate stage and the electrode in plasma formation, and at least some of them are separated by being moved by a driving mechanism so as to form an opening for loading a substrate onto the substrate stage while no plasma is being formed. The deposition shield covers the surfaces of the conductive members on the side of the plasma space.
