Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a wafer inside a process chamber, performing an ALD (atomic layer deposition) process inside the process chamber to deposit titanium nitride on the wafer, providing a process gas used for the ALD process to a scrubber, filtering a first powder contained in the process gas, using a filter unit disposed in the scrubber and including a plurality of filters, adsorbing a second powder remaining in the process gas after passing through the filter unit, using a fin structure extending in a vertical direction inside the filter unit, and exhausting the process gas, from which the first and second powders are removed, from the scrubber.
