Abstract

Abstract A chemical vapor deposition method for forming a fluorine-containing silicon oxide film comprises introducing a gaseous mixture of alkoxysilane or its polymers as a source gas with fluoroalkoxysilane added thereto into a reaction chamber and performing decomposition of the gaseous mixture to deposit the fluorine-containing silicon oxide film onto a substrate. During the formation of the fluorine-containing silicon oxide film, at least one of compounds containing phosphorus or boron such as organic phosphorus compounds and organic boron compounds may be evaporated and introduced into said gaseous mixture, thereby adding at least one of phosphorus and boron to said fluorine-containing silicon oxide film. The fluorine-containing oxide film may be formed by effecting the decomposition of the gaseous mixture in the presence of ozone gas, or under ultraviolet radiation, or gas plasma.
