    摘要: In the production of a semiconductor device including an MISFET or a one transistor-one capacitor-memory cell, the excellent oxidation resistance of a silicon nitride film formed by direct nitridation, as well as the great oxidation tendency of a covering layer made of, for example, polycrystalline silicon selectively formed on the silicon nitride film, are utilized so as to form various regions of the semiconductor device in self alignment and to prevent a short circuit between such regions.A process according to the present invention comprises the steps of: selectively covering a semiconductor substrate with a relatively thick field insulation film; forming, on the exposed part of the semiconductor substrate, a relatively thin nitride film by direct nitridation; and selectively forming a film of silicon or a metal silicide on the silicon nitride film. A capacitor made of the silicon nitride is formed between the silicon or silicide film and the semiconductor substrate. The capacitor may be one for storing information.

    摘要: A silicon nitride film is generated by heating a silicon substrate having an exposed surface in an ambient including ammonia thereby causing the exposed silicon to react with nitrogen atoms. The substrate is heated to a temperature of at least 900.degree. C. in an inert gas, such as argon, whereby the natural oxide film or impurity particles on the surface are subject to vapor etching. The substrate is then heated to a temperature in a range of 900.degree. C. to 1300.degree. C. in the ambient, including ammonia, to produce a dense and homogeneous amorphous silicon nitride film.

    摘要: In a method of forming an insulating film on the surface of a silicon substrate, a silicon nitride film is formed on such surface by direct thermal nitridation. The nitridation is initially in an ambient gas of nitrogen whereby a comparatively thick silicon nitride film is formed. The ambient gas is then changed to ammonia or a mixture of an inert gas and ammonia to densify the silicon nitride film. The resultant film is useful as an insulating film in semiconductor devices, masks for impurity diffusion and selective oxidation in the manufacture thereof.

    摘要: An insulative film, such as SiO.sub.2, Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 and PSG films, is commonly used, for example, the passivation film or to insulate the gate electrode of MISFETs. Stability of the insulative films during the production or operation of the semiconductor devices is enhanced by providing an insulative film which is formed by nitridation, for example, in an NH.sub.3 gas, of an SiO.sub.2 film, preferably a directly thermally oxidized film of silicon. The insulative film according to the present invention is used for a gate insulation film in MISFETs, a capacitor or passivation film for semiconductor devices, and as a mask for selectively forming circuit elements of semiconductor devices. The process for forming the insulative film may comprise successive nitridation, oxidation and nitridation steps.
