Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9607769A1] An apparatus for manufacturing a thin film for a semiconductor device which includes a vacuum chamber (22), a heater block (23) installed in the vacuum chamber (22) for heating the wafer (200), asputtering source (24) installed above the heater block (23), a clamp (26) for clamping the wafer (200) installed on the heater block (23) against the heater block (23), and a gas supply means (40) for directly supplying gas to two specific sites in the vacuum chamber (22) which comprises a first gas supply (41) for supplying a first gas proximate the top of the wafer (200) from an opening (44) formed along the exterior surface of the sputtering source (24), and a second gas supply (45) positioned to supply a second gas to the top of the wafer (200). The present invention reduces the formation of undesirable particles in the vacuum chamber (22) thereby improving the characteristics of the deposited film and production efficiency.
