Abstract
A method of LPCVD silicon nitride deposition for decreasing particles is disclosed. First, a silicon nitride layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate by LPCVD. Next, low gas flow rate purging step and cycle purging step are executed sequentially. Finally, the semiconductor substrate is taken out from the LPCVD tube. The key point of this invention is decreasing the gas flow rate of purging and cycle purging by inputting nitrogen gas slowly. Thereby the substrate surface contamination problem induced by conventional method can be avoided.
