Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes coating a solution containing a perhydrosilazane polymer on a substrate, heating the solution to form a film containing the perhydrosilazane polymer, and oxidizing the film in a water vapor atmosphere at a reduced pressure to convert the film into an insulating film containing silicon and oxygen.
Claims20
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:
- coating a solution containing a perhydrosilazane polymer on a substrate;
- heating the solution to form a film containing the perhydrosilazane polymer;
- and
- oxidizing the film to convert the film into an insulating film containing silicon and oxygen, wherein the oxidizing comprises a first oxidation treatment and a second oxidation treatment, the first oxidation treatment is executed in a water vapor atmosphere at a reduced pressure, and the second oxidation treatment is executed in a water vapor atmosphere at a reduced pressure at a higher temperature than the first oxidation treatment,
- wherein a top portion of the film includes Si—N bonds after the first oxidation treatment and before the second oxidation treatment, and the top portion of the film fails to include Si—N bonds after the second oxidation treatment.
