    摘要: The present invention provides a method for forming a thermal oxide film, comprising the steps of: a step of acquiring a first correlation between an amount of OH groups and thickness of the thermal oxide film by forming a thermal oxide film by thermal oxidation treatment under the same condition after preparing a plurality of semiconductor substrates having chemical oxide films formed by cleaning and having different amounts of OH groups; a step of acquiring a second correlation between an amount of OH groups and drying conditions by cleaning under the same cleaning condition followed by changed drying conditions to substrates and measuring amounts of OH groups; a step of acquiring a third correlation between drying condition and thickness of thermal oxide film by using the first correlation and the second correlation; a step of determining drying condition and thermal oxidation condition by using the third correlation; a step of cleaning the substrates; and a step of drying and a thermal oxide film formation after the cleaning step using the drying conditions and thermal oxidation treatment conditions determined in the drying and thermal oxidation treatment condition determination step. This provides a method for forming thermal oxide film in which a thermal oxide film can be formed with intended thickness with good reproducibility while without changing the composition of the cleaning chemical solution.

    摘要: The present invention is a method for dry-etching a semiconductor substrate having an oxide film, including: evaluating a film quality of the oxide film and determining a time for performing the dry-etching on a basis of results of the evaluation in advance. This provides a method for controlling the etching amount of an oxide film accurately and suppressing over-etching and insufficient etching without influence from variation in the film quality of the oxide film when dry-etching the oxide film on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
