Method of forming metal nitride film by chemical vapor deposition and method of forming metal contact and capacitor of semiconductor device using the same

Abstract

A method of forming a metal nitride film using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and a method of forming a metal contact and a semiconductor capacitor of a semiconductor device using the same, are provided. The method of forming a metal nitride film using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in which a metal source and a nitrogen source are used as a precursor, includes the steps of inserting a semiconductor substrate into a deposition chamber, flowing the metal source into the deposition chamber, removing the metal source remaining in the deposition chamber by cutting off the inflow of the metal source and flowing a purge gas into the deposition chamber, cutting off the purge gas and flowing the nitrogen source into the deposition chamber to react with the metal source adsorbed on the semiconductor substrate, and removing the nitrogen source remaining in the deposition chamber by cutting off the inflow of the nitrogen source and flowing the purge gas into the deposition chamber. Accordingly, the metal nitride film having low resistivity and a low content of Cl even with excellent step coverage can be formed at a temperature of 500° C. or lower, and a semiconductor capacitor having excellent leakage current characteristics can be manufactured. Also, a deposition speed, approximately 20 A/cycle, is suitable for mass production.
