    摘要: A dielectric film wherein N in the state of an Si3=≡N bonding is present in a concentration of 3 atomic % or more in the surface side of an oxide film and also is present in a concentration of 0.1 atomic % or less in the interface side of the oxide film can achieve the prevention of the B diffusion and also the prevention of the deterioration of the NBTI resistance in combination. When the Ar/N2 radical nitridation is used, it is difficult for the resultant oxide film to satisfy the condition wherein N in the above bonding state is present in a concentration of 3 atomic % or more in the surface side of an oxide film and simultaneously is present in a concentration of 0.1 atomic % or less in the interface side of the oxide film, whereas, the above distribution of the N concentration can be achieved by using any of the gas combinations of Xe/N2, Kr/N2, Ar/NH3, Xe/NH3, Kr/NH3, Ar/N2/H2, Xe/N2/H2 and Kr/N2/H2.

    摘要: A plasma processing apparatus in which consumption of expensive krypton and xenon gases is suppressed as much as possible while reducing damage on a workpiece during plasma processing. In plasma processing of a substrate using a rare gas, two or more kinds of different rare gases are employed, and an inexpensive argon gas is used as one rare gas and any one or both of krypton and xenon gases having a larger collision cross-sectional area against electron than that of the argon gas is used as the other gas. Consequently, consumption of expensive krypton and xenon gases is suppressed as much as possible and damage on a workpiece is reduced during plasma processing.
