A method of forming a trench isolation structure is provided in which a film is formed on a semiconductor substrate and a trench is formed in the semiconductor substrate through the film. A dielectric material is deposited in the trench and on the film. An etch resistant film is formed on the portions of the dielectric material in the trench and on exposed portions of the film at edge regions of the trench. The dielectric material on the film is selectively removed and the etch resistant film remaining on the dielectric material in the trench is selectively removed.

A surface processing apparatus comprises a container provided with a first electrode and a second electrode disposed opposite to the first electrode for supporting a substrate to be processed and filled with a gas at a reduced pressure, an electric field generator for generating an electric field between the first and second electrodes, and a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field in the vacuum container. The magnetic field generator comprises a plurality of magnet element groups arranged in a circle around the container so as to form a ring, each of the magnet element groups having an axis directed to a center of the circle and a synthetic magnetization direction and comprising one or a plurality of magnet elements having respective magnetization directions which are synthesized to be equal to the synthetic magnetization direction of the each of the magnetic element groups. One of the magnet element groups is so disposed that the synthetic magnetization direction thereof coincides with the axis thereof, and each of the magnet element groups other than the one magnet element group is so disposed that an angle of the synthetic magnetization direction thereof relative to the synthetic magnetization direction of the one magnet element group is substantially twice an angle of the axis thereof relative to the axis of the one magnet element group.

After a polysilicon film is formed on a wafer, a cleaning gas containing ClF.sub.3 at 10 to 50 vol % is supplied into a reaction tube and an exhaust pipe system at a flow rate of 3000 to 3500 SCCM, so as to remove a polysilicon-based film deposited on an inner wall surface of the reaction tube, the surface of a member incorporated in the reaction tube, and an inner wall surface of the exhaust pipe system while the film forming process, by etching using ClF.sub.3. The cleaning gas is supplied while the temperature in the reaction tube is maintained at 450.degree. C. or higher, and in a pressure condition set at the maintained temperature such that an etching rate of the polysilicon-based film by the cleaning gas is higher than an etching rate of silicon which is the material of the reaction tube or the member incorporated in the reaction tube.

The present invention is a method for forming a three point atomic force microscope tip. The method includes forming a substantially longitudinally extending solid tip having a peripheral surface and a forward end surface. Three masks are formed by deposition of carbon upon the solid tip, with a first and second of the masks formed along the peripheral surface, and a third of the masks formed on the forward end surface. The mask covered tip is then etched for a predetermined period of time to remove material from both the tip and the mask. After the predetermined period of time has elapsed, the masks are completely removed, and the removal of material from the tip results in the formation of three spikes which are pointed to the location from which the masks were removed.

An electrostatic chuck for electrostatically holding a wafer is provided in a vacuum chamber formed in a magnetron plasma etching apparatus. The electrostatic chuck has a base member, a first insulating layer provided on the base member and made of polyimide, a second insulation layer made of AlN, a conductive sheet provided between first and second insulation layers, and an adhesive layer made of a thermosetting resin and adhering the first insulating layer to the second insulating layer. The wafer is placed on the second insulating layer, and power is supplied from a high voltage power supply to the conductive sheet via a feeding sheet, thereby creating static electricity and hence a coulombic force for holding the wafer on the second insulating layer.

A plane of a treatment liquid holder having a number of through holes faces a treatment surface of a substrate. A treatment liquid is held between the treatment surface and the liquid holder by utilizing a surface tension of the treatment liquid. Since the treatment liquid is applied only to the treatment surface, an extremely small amount of treatment liquid suffices for the treatment. In addition, since a fresh treatment liquid can be used in every treatment, cross-contamination is suppressed and the treatment can be performed with safety at a low cost.
