Film forming method and film forming apparatus

Abstract

A film forming method that sprays mist on a heated substrate from a nozzle to form a crystalline oxide film by a mist CVD method, wherein the nozzle for use in the method includes at least two or more opposing gas inlets, a gas mixing unit having the gas inlets, and a gas outlet from which the mist is sprayed, and a linear velocity L (cm/sec) of the mist at any one of the two or more opposing gas inlets satisfies L≥0.8V-200, wherein V (cm3) represents a volume of the gas mixing unit. Thus, a film forming method for forming a crystalline oxide film, has excellent crystallinity and a favorable in-plane film thickness distribution even with a large area and a thin film thickness, and has excellent semiconductor properties when applied to a semiconductor device; and a film forming apparatus for performing the film forming method.
