PURPOSE: To deposit an SiOF film having low permittivity where both the concentration of fluorine and the controllability of coverage are satisfied, while reducing contamination due to particles generated at the time of film deposition, by changing the material gas in chemical vapor phase growth.
CONSTITUTION: In the method for depositing an interlayer insulating film 13 of SiOF on the surface of a substrate 11 by chemical vapor phase growth, the material gas for chemical vapor phase growth comprises a gas (SiHF gas) composed of silicon, hydrogen and fluorine molecules and a gas (oxidizing agent) composed of hydrogen and oxygen molecules, for example. Polysilane gas is employed together with the SiHF gas and oxidizing agent in order to control the content of fluorine. Chemical vapor phase growth is carried out in a chemical vapor phase growth system through thermal decomposition reaction or in a remote plasma CVD system.
