Manufacturing method of semiconductor integrated circuit device

Abstract

In remote plasma cleaning, it is difficult to locally excite a plasma because the condition is not suitable for plasma excitation different from that at the time of film formation and a method using light has a problem of fogginess of a detection window that cannot be avoided in a CVD process and is not suitable for a mass production process. In order to solve these problems, the outline of the present invention is a manufacturing method of a semiconductor integrated circuit device in which a step of depositing a desired film by exciting a reaction gas using a plasma in a reaction chamber and a step of introducing a cleaning gas excited in a remote plasma excitation chamber into the reaction chamber and performing remote plasma cleaning of the reaction chamber in an atmosphere without plasma excitation are repeated, wherein a local plasma is generated in the reaction chamber or a vacuum system for evacuating the reaction chamber by a plasma excitation system of capacitively coupled type and the end point of the remote plasma cleaning is detected by monitoring the electrical characteristic of the plasma.
