Abstract:
A surface treating agent for treating a surface of a semiconductor substrate having an active agent mixed with a carrier, the carrier carrying the active agent to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, the active agent comprising:a silane compound represented by the following general formula (7):R.sup.1.sub.4-n Si(OR).sub.n (7)wherein n represents an integer of 1 to 3; R represents a substituted saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbons, a substituted or non-substituted unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 2 to 6 carbons, or a substituted or non-substituted alkylcarbonyl group having 1 to 6 carbons; and R.sup.1 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or non-substituted saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbons, a substituted or non-substituted unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 2 to 6 carbons, or an alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon group having 3 to 6 carbons, wherein when n is 1 and each of R.sup.1 is a substituted or non-substituted saturated hydrocarbon group, or a substituted or non-substituted unsaturated hydrocarbon group, at least one of R.sup.1 is a substituted or non-substituted saturated hydrocarbon group having 2 to 6 carbons, or a substituted or non-substituted unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 2 to 6 carbons, and when n is 3, R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a substituted or non-substituted saturated hydrocarbon group, a substituted unsaturated hydrocarbon group or an alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon group.
