A method for manufacturing an aluminum oxide film for use in a semiconductor device which includes the following steps: preparing a semiconductor substrate and setting the semiconductor substrate in a reaction chamber; supplying modified trimethyl aluminum (MTMA) as an aluminum source material into the reaction chamber so that it could be absorbed on the semiconductor substrate; discharging unreacted MTMA or by-product through a first pump by permitting nitrogen gas to flow into the reaction chamber and purging the chamber for vacuum status; supplying an oxygen source into the reaction chamber so that it could be absorbed on the semiconductor substrate; and discharging an unreacted oxygen source or by-product through a second pump by permitting nitrogen gas to flow into the reaction chamber and purging the chamber for vacuum status.

Method for manufacturing aluminum oxide film for use in a semiconductor device

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device can form a thick lower electrode made of Pt. The method begins with the preparation of an active matrix provided with at least one transistor, a plurality of conductive plugs electrically connected to the transistors and an insulating layer formed around the conductive plugs. Thereafter, a seed layer is formed on top of the active matrix and a dummy oxide layer is formed on top of the seed layer. Then, the dummy oxide layer is patterned into a predetermined configuration, thereby exposing portions of the seed layer which are located on top of the conductive plugs. The exposed portions are filled with a conductive material to a predetermined thickness. The dummy oxide layer and portions of the seed layer which are not covered with the conductive material are removed, thereby obtaining lower electrodes. A capacitor dielectric layer is on the lower electrodes. Finally, an upper electrode layer is formed on the capacitor dielectric layer.
