Abstract

Abstract By using a vapor containing alkoxyfluorosilane as a main component, a silicon oxide film containing fluorine is formed on a substrate (104) at a temperature of 200°C or less in a reaction chamber (101) having a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure. For example, triethoxyfluorosilane may be supplied to the chamber (101) from a bubbler (107) and steam may be supplied from a bubbler (108). In addition, an organic film such as a photoresist film (304) can be used as a mask to selectively form the silicon oxide film. Although the silicon oxide film can be formed at a very low temperature of 30°C, the film has a water content smaller than that of a silicon oxide film formed at a temperture of 250°C by a conventional method. In addition, the film properties of the silicon oxide film are better than those of the silicon oxide film formed by the conventional method. Furthermore, a two-layered aluminum wiring structure can be easily formed by a selective growing method.

Dependent Claim 16 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein triethoxyfluorosilane (chemical formula: F-Si(OC₂H₅)₃ is used as the alkoxyfluorosilane.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 68 words
A method of forming a silicon oxide film containing fluorine, characterized in that a silicon oxide film (305) is selectively formed on a substrate surface having an organic film pattern at portions except for said organic film pattern, using a vapor containing alkoxyfluorosilane as a main component in a reaction chamber having a predetermined temperature and a predetermined pressure at a substrate temperature of not more than 150°C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method according to claim 3, wherein said organic film pattern is formed by any one of a photoresist film, a polytetrafluoroethylene film, and a polyimide film.
