Abstract
Abstract An insulating film is formed on the surface of the base of a semiconductor, and a portion of the insulating film is removed to cause the surface to appear outside. The exposed surface is terminated with hydrogen, and then energy beams are applied to selectively remove the terminating hydrogen. Metal is selectively deposited on the portion terminated with left hydrogen atoms.
