Abstract

A method for manufacturing an aluminum oxide film for use in a semiconductor device which includes the following steps: preparing a semiconductor substrate and setting the semiconductor substrate in a reaction chamber; supplying modified trimethyl aluminum (MTMA) as an aluminum source material into the reaction chamber so that it could be absorbed on the semiconductor substrate; discharging unreacted MTMA or by-product through a first pump by permitting nitrogen gas to flow into the reaction chamber and purging the chamber for vacuum status; supplying an oxygen source into the reaction chamber so that it could be absorbed on the semiconductor substrate; and discharging an unreacted oxygen source or by-product through a second pump by permitting nitrogen gas to flow into the reaction chamber and purging the chamber for vacuum status.
