  • Patent number: 8933514
    Abstract: The orientation polarization (positive and negative) of the Si—N bonds and the Si—O bonds is canceled, thereby enabling to minimize the polarization in a capacitive insulating film. As a result, a silicon oxynitride film with a small voltage secondary coefficient is formed, and is applied as a capacitive insulating film for use in a MIM capacitor. Specifically, the refractive index “n” of the silicon oxynitride film satisfies 1.47?n?1.53, for light with a wavelength of 633 nm.

  • Publication number: 20130244146
    Abstract: After performing a pretreatment step of coating an organic solvent mixed with a polymeric organic compound over a substrate having a tungsten film formed on the surface of the substrate, a chemically amplified resist is coated to form a resist pattern. Further, a ratio of a C1s peak intensity to a W4d peak intensity measured by XPS is 0.1 or mote at the surface of the tungsten film after the pretreatment step and before coating the chemically amplified resist.
