    摘要: A semiconductor substrate, on which a silicon dioxide film with a resist film defined thereon has been formed, is placed inside a reaction chamber of a plasma processing system. Then, a fluorocarbon gas with a C/F ratio of 0.5 or more is introduced into the reaction chamber. In this process step, the flow rate of the gas is controlled such that the residence time &tgr; of the gas in the reaction chamber becomes greater than 0.1 sec and equal to or less than 1 sec in accordance with an equation &tgr;=P×V/Q, where &tgr; is the residence time (unit: sec), P is a pressure (unit: Pa) of the gas, V is a volume (unit: L) of the reaction chamber and Q is the flow rate (unit: Pa·L/sec) of the gas. Thereafter, plasma is created from the fluorocarbon gas and the silicon dioxide film is plasma-etched using the resist film as a mask.

    摘要: In performing plasma etching or plasma CVD, a gas containing an interhalogen compound gas or a XeF.sub.2 gas is used as a process gas. Such a process gas generates, in the state of non-plasma and with activation energy lower than a specified level, a volatile material from a deposition species generated in the above etching so as to contribute to the suppression of film formation. For example, the XeF.sub.2 gas, a BrF.sub.3 gas, a BrCl gas are used in the cases of etching a silicon dioxide film, a silicide film, and a polysilicon film, respectively. On the surface of a substrate is formed a non-volatile protective film so as to improve the profiles of an opening. At the wall surface of a reaction chamber which is barely influenced by the plasma, the deposition species is turned into a volatile material (e.g., SiF.sub.4) so as to suppress the deposition of reaction products thereon. If the interhalogen compound gas, XeF.sub.2 gas, or the like is added to a main gas for performing CVD, the same effects can be achieved.

    摘要: The characteristic of semiconductor devices is satisfactorily maintained because the planarization of a dielectric film of a semiconductor device is carried out at a lower flow temperature. In the case of a silicon dioxide film being a dielectric film, a network structure is composed of atoms of silicon which serve as a main constituent, and of atoms of oxygen which serve as a sub-constituent of a matrix of the dielectric film. These oxygen atoms are replaced by non-bridging constituents such as atoms of halogen including fluorine. This breaks a bridge, via an oxygen atom, between the silicon atoms, at a position where such a replacement takes place. In consequence, the viscosity of the dielectric film falls with the flow temperature. If, for example, part of the oxygen in a BPSG film is substituted by fluorine, this allows the dielectric film to flow at a lower temperature of 850.degree. C. The short channel effects can be suppressed.

    摘要: Inert gas is introduced in and then discharged from the inside of a pneumatic device such as a chamber, a pipe or the like which is used for producing semiconductor devices and through which interhalogen compound gas passes. Then, gas having humidity exceeding 1% is introduced into the chamber or the like. Before the gas having humidity exceeding 1% is introduced into the chamber or the like, the interhalogen compound gas in the chamber or the like is lowered in concentration to such an extent that the inner wall of the chamber or the like is not corroded. Thereafter, when the gas having humidity exceeding 1% is introduced, the interhalogen compound (for example, ClF.sub.3 gas) is decomposed into a substance such as HF or the like of which toxicity is low and of which adsorptivity to the inner wall of the chamber or the like is also low. Thereafter, the inside of the chamber or the like is opened to atmosphere. Thus, when the method above-mentioned is used for opening, to atmosphere, the inside of a pneumatic device which is used for producing semiconductor devices and in which etching, CVD, cleaning or the like is executed using interhalogen compound gas, this prevents not only the inner wall of the pneumatic device from being corroded, but also the human body from being adversely affected.
