New Metal Organic Gas Supply System by Using an Advanced Flow Control System

摘要

Gas flow control is important factor that influences the concentration of process gas and the pressure of the process chamber. In manufacturing processes that use metal organic (MO) gases, a system that controls the flow rate of MO gas must be developed to improve film performance and the reliability of film formation. We have developed a high temperature flow control system based on pressure measurements (HT-FCS) to control the flow rate of MO gas. Moreover, a liquid source control system that combines a HT-FCS and vaporizer was developed. Using this system, it was possible to control the flow rate of MO gas with high accuracy for extended periods. A flow control system that can supply MO gas with a stable flow rate by vaporizing MO material with the quantity needed at each time has been realized.
