Abstract

An apparatus and method for fabricating a semiconductor device using a 4-way valve with improved purge efficiency by improving a gas valve system by preventing dead volume from occurring are provided. The apparatus includes a reaction chamber in which a substrate is processed to fabricate a semiconductor device; a first processing gas supply pipe supplying a first processing gas into the reaction chamber; a 4-way valve having a first inlet, a second inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet and installed at the first processing gas supply pipe such that the first inlet and the first outlet are connected to the first processing gas supply pipe; a second processing gas supply pipe connected to the second inlet of the 4-way valve to supply a second processing gas; a bypass connected to the second outlet of the 4-way valve; and a gate valve installed at the bypass.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing semiconductor devices, and more particularly, to an apparatus for employing a 4-way valve by improving the valve system for supplying gas to a reaction chamber with improved purge (purge) An apparatus for efficiently manufacturing a semiconductor device, a method for controlling the 4-way valve, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using the apparatus. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor devices are manufactured by repeatedly performing processes such as deposition and patterning of thin layers on the surface of a substrate, that is, a wafer. Deposition and patterning of the thin layers is typically done in a semiconductor processing module. The configuration of a semiconductor processing module varies depending on the process used in the process of manufacturing semiconductor devices, but it basically includes a reaction chamber defining a reaction area in which ...
