In a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus comprising at least a reaction chamber and a substrate holder located within the reaction chamber, a silicon nitride film is deposited on the substrate holder within the reaction chamber, and then, a semiconductor substrate is put on the silicon nitride film of the substrate holder within the reaction chamber. A titanium film or a titanium nitride film is deposited on the semiconductor substrate within the reaction chamber, by a chemical vapor deposition process using a titanium halide as a raw material gas.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor device

A miniature contact is incorporated in a semiconductor device for transferring an electric signal between a conductive wiring and an impurity region, and a titanium silicide and a single crystal silicon region doped with an impurity forms an ohmic contact; in order to form the ohmic contact, a surface portion of the single crystal silicon region is made amorphous by using an ion-bombardment, thereafter, titanium is deposited on the amorphous silicon to have the thickness ranging between 3 nanometers and 10 nanometers, and the titanium layer is converted to a titanium silicide layer through an annealing at 400 degrees to 500 degrees in centigrade, thereby forming the low-resistive ohmic contact without changing the impurity profile of the single crystal silicon region.

Apparatus and method for manufacturing semiconductor device

A manufacturing method for a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming an insulating film on a silicon substrate; removing a predetermined portion of the insulating film and forming a contact hole wherein the silicon substrate is exposed; and depositing a titanium film on the exposed silicon substrate and the insulating film by setting the temperature of the substrate at 550 degrees Celsius or higher and by employing plasma chemical vapor deposition using halogenated titanium, H,, a gas containing halogen and a carrier gas.

Manufacturing method for contact hole

In a titanium film forming method of this invention, before a titanium film is formed, the temperature in a reaction chamber for forming the titanium film is set to a temperature or more at which hydrogen chloride is produced by chlorine and hydrogen. A hydrogenated gas is then fed into the reaction chamber for a predetermined period of time. With this process, before the titanium film is formed, chlorine gas and titanium chloride gas left in the reaction chamber for forming the titanium film are reduced.

Titanium film forming method

In a semiconductor device, a TiN plug is formed to filled up a contact hole which is formed to penetrate through an insulator film on a conductive silicon layer in a surface region of a silicon substrate. A first titanium silicide film is formed on a bottom surface of the TiN plug, so that the TiN plug is electrically connected to the conductive silicon layer through the first titanium silicide film. A second titanium silicide film is formed on a top surface of the TiN plug, and a polysilicon electrode is formed on the second titanium silicide film, so that the TiN plug is electrically connected to the polysilicon electrode through the second titanium silicide film. Thus, the contact resistance between the TiN plug and the polysilicon electrode is reduced.

A titanium nitride film is formed on a silicon substrate having a contact hole formed therein by chemical vapor deposition and silicon ions are injected. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the film stress of the titanium nitride film, caused by the chemical vapor deposition, to the semiconductor device.
