摘要:
A structure is constructed having a through hole in a substrate of silicon or the like by a decreased number of steps in production and with improved reliability. A silicon nitride film is formed in contact with an upper surface of a silicon oxide film at least on a portion of the substrate near the edge of a through hole, thereby improving step coverage of the silicon nitride film. The silicon oxide film and silicon nitride film function as a membrane during formation of the through hole by etching from the back side of the substrate.

A structure having a base plate, such as silicon, provided with a through hole makes it possible to curtail the process numbers at the time of manufacture, while enhancing the reliability thereof. When the through hole is provided by anisotropic etching from the backside of the base plate, a silicon nitride film, which becomes membrane on the surface side of the base plate is formed so as not to allow etching solution from leaking to the surface side of the base plate. It is preferable to form the silicon nitride film using plasma CVD method to make the inner stress of the silicon nitride film a compression stress of 3×108 Pa or less.
