A method of forming a boron-based film mainly containing boron on a substrate includes forming, on the substrate, an adhesion layer containing an element contained in a surface of the substrate and nitrogen, and subsequently, forming the boron-based film on the adhesion layer.

Method for forming boron-based film, formation apparatus

A method of forming a boron-based film includes forming the boron-based film mainly containing boron on a substrate by plasma CVD using plasma of a processing gas including a boron-containing gas; and controlling film stress of the formed boron-based film by adjusting a process parameter.

Method of forming boron-based film, and film forming apparatus

There is provided a method of forming a boron film on a substrate on which a semiconductor device is formed, by plasmarizing a reaction gas containing a boron-containing gas under a process atmosphere regulated to a pressure which falls within a range of 0.67 to 33.3 Pa (5 to 250 mTorr). The boron film is formed on a substrate on which a semiconductor device is formed, by plasmarizing a reaction gas containing a boron-containing gas under a process atmosphere regulated to a pressure which falls within a range of 0.67 to 33.3 Pa (5 to 250 mTorr).

Film forming method, boron film, and film forming apparatus

Disclosed is a plasma doping apparatus and a plasma doping method for performing a doping on a processing target substrate by implanting dopant ions into the processing target substrate. The plasma doping method includes a plasma doping processing performed on the processing target substrate held on a holding unit within a processing container by generating plasma using a microwave. The plasma doping method also includes an annealing processing which is performed on the processing target substrate which has been subjected to the plasma doping processing.

Doping method, doping apparatus and method of manufacturing semiconductor device

Disclosed is a plasma doping apparatus provided with a plasma generating mechanism. The plasma generating mechanism includes a microwave generator that generates microwave for plasma excitation, a dielectric window that transmits the microwave generated by the microwave generator into a processing container, and a radial line slot antenna formed with a plurality of slots. The radial line slot antenna radiates the microwave to the dielectric window. A control unit controls the plasma doping apparatus such that a doping gas and a gas for plasma excitation are supplied into the processing container by a gas supply unit in a state where the substrate is placed on a holding unit, and then plasma is generated by the plasma generating mechanism to perform doping on the substrate such that the concentration of the dopant implanted into the substrate is less than 1&#xd7;10atoms/cm.
