Title:
NATURALLY OXIDIZED FILM REMOVING METHOD AND NATURALLY OXIDIZED FILM REMOVING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/010194
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technology that can remove a naturally oxidized film formed on the surface of a semiconductor layer containing, as a main component, a compound of indium and an element other than indium, without relatively highly raising the temperature of the semiconductor layer. The present invention is characterized by comprising: a first step for feeding the semiconductor layer with a first etching gas which is a β-diketone and simultaneously heating the semiconductor layer, in order to remove an oxide of indium forming the naturally oxidized film; and a second step for feeding the semiconductor layer with a second etching gas and simultaneously heating the semiconductor layer, in order to remove an oxide of the element other than indium forming the naturally oxidized film. Since an oxide of indium can be removed even when the temperature of the semiconductor layer is relatively low by using the first etching gas, it is unnecessary to relatively highly raise the temperature of the semiconductor layer when removing the naturally oxidized film.
