Abstract:
A convenient method of depositing chemical protection material on the surface of a semiconductor substrate whereby deposition of contaminating substances after a clean surface has been obtained can be prevented and maintaining of this surface performed includes a process of depositing a high molecular straight-chain organic compound 3 onto a highly clean surface 2 of a semiconductor substrate 1 during semiconductor washing or after semiconductor washing of the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a process of forming a gate electrode having a metallic silicide layer on a semiconductor substrate, a process of decreasing boundaries of grains on the surface of the metallic silicide layer, at least a portion of which is exposed, and a process of forming spacers comprising an oxide film on the side wall of the gate electrode; in this order. Thus, abnormal oxidation of the metallic silicide layer is avoided.
Abstract:
A semiconductor substrate surface protection method for maintaining surfaces thereof clean includes providing a tank containing pure water and a chemical protection material which is a high molecular straight-chain organic compound; and immersing the semiconductor substrate in the tank to deposit the high molecular straight-chain organic compound on the semiconductor substrate for maintaining the surfaces thereof clean. This convenient method prevents deposition of contaminating substances directly onto the semiconductor substrate and enables maintaining of this contaminant-free surface at a low cost.
Abstract:
A method for forming an insulating film is provided which is capable of inhibiting spontaneous growth of a silicon oxide film formed on a silicon substrate and an increase in thickness of a film caused by exposure to an atmosphere. After having allowed a silicon dioxide layer with a predetermined thickness to grow on a surface of a silicon crystal, a surface of the silicon dioxide is exposed to organic gas containing no hydroxyl group or is exposed to ammonia gas.
