Abstract

Provided are a substrate treating apparatus and method of manufacturing a phase-change layer having superior deposition characteristics. The substrate treating method of manufacturing a phase-change memory includes forming a bottom electrode on a substrate on which a pattern is formed, performing surface treating for removing impurities generated or remaining on a surface of the substrate while the bottom electrode is formed, performing nitriding on the surface of the substrate from which the impurities are removed, and successively depositing a phase-change layer and a top electrode on the bottom electrode. The substrate treating apparatus for manufacturing a phase-change memory includes a load lock chamber into/from which a plurality of substrates are loaded or unloaded, the load lock chamber being converted between an atmosphere state and a vacuum state, a nitriding chamber in which nitriding is performed on a surface of a substrate on which a bottom electrode is disposed, the nitriding chamber being coupled to one side of a plurality of sides of the vacuum transfer chamber, and a process chamber in which a phase-change layer is deposited on the surface of the substrate on which…
