Abstract: On a silicon substrate is formed a silicon dioxide film and then hemispherical grains made of silicon, each having an extremely small diameter, are deposited thereon by LPCVD. After annealing the hemispherical grains, the silicon dioxide film is etched using the hemispherical grains as a first dotted mask, thereby forming a second dotted mask composed of the silicon dioxide film. The resulting second dotted mask is used to etch the silicon substrate to a specified depth from the surface thereof, thereby forming an aggregate of semiconductor micro-needles. Since the diameter of each of the semiconductor micro-needles is sufficiently small to cause the quantum size effects as well as has only small size variations, remarkable quantum size effects can be obtained. Therefore, it becomes possible to constitute a semiconductor apparatus with a high information-processing function by using the aggregate of semiconductor micro-needles (quantized region).

Abstract: A first metallization layer is locally formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate thereby leaving portions of the semiconductor substrate's surface exposed. A first silicon oxide layer is then formed in such a manner that it covers the exposed portions of the semiconductor substrate's surface and the first metallization layer. This is followed by the formation of an HMDS molecular layer on the first silicon oxide layer. Then, a second silicon oxide is formed on the molecular layer by means of a CVD process utilizing the chemical reaction of ozone with TEOS. Finally, a second metallization layer is locally formed on the second silicon oxide layer.
