    摘要: Nano structures are formed in a glass layer on a substrate by defining a first structure in the glass layer using a low energy radiation exposure, and then defining a second structure in the glass layer for the dynamic layer using a higher energy radiation exposure. The structures are then developed in TMAH. The structures include at least sensors and nano-channels. Densification is performed by converting the structures to SiO2. Further structures are formed by using different energy exposures. One structure is a channel having a porous wall prior to development.

    摘要: Silicon oxide films which are good as gate insulation films are formed by subjecting a silicon oxide film which has been formed on an active layer comprising a silicon film by means of a PVD method or CVD method to a heat treatment at 300-700° C. in a dinitrogen monoxide atmosphere, or in an NH3 or N2H4 atmosphere, while irradiating with ultraviolet light, reducing the hydrogen and carbon contents in the silicon oxide film and introducing nitrogen into the boundary with the silicon film in particular. Furthermore, silicon oxide films which are good as gate insulating films have been formed by subjecting silicon oxide films which have been formed on an active layer comprising a silicon film by means of a PVD method or CVD method to a heat treatment at 300-700° C. in an N2O atmosphere (or hydrogen nitride atmosphere) while irradiating with ultraviolet light, and then carrying out a heat treatment at 300-700° C. in a hydrogen nitride atmosphere (N2O atmosphere), and reducing the amount of hydrogen and carbon in the silicon oxide film and introducing nitrogen into the boundary with the silicon film in particular.

    摘要: An impurity doped SiC substrate 1 and SiC thin film 2 are irradiated with a laser light 5 having a wavelength longer than such a wavelength that a band edge absorption of a semiconductor is caused. The wavelength of the laser light 5 may be such a wavelength that an absorption is caused by a vibration by the bond of an impurity element and an element constituting the semiconductor, for example, a wavelength of 9 &mgr;m to 11 &mgr;m. Specifically, in the case where Al is doped in SiC, the wavelength of the laser light 5 may be within the range of 9.5 &mgr;m to 10 &mgr;m.
