Abstract:
A method of post-deposition treatment for silicon oxide film includes: providing in a reaction space a substrate having a recess pattern on which a silicon oxide film is deposited; supplying a reforming gas for reforming the silicon oxide film to the reaction space in the absence of a film-forming precursor, said reforming gas being composed primarily of He and/or H 2 ; and irradiating the reforming gas with microwaves in the reaction space having a pressure of 200 Pa or less to generate a direct microwave plasma to which the substrate is exposed, thereby reforming the silicon oxide film.

Claim (Index 14):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the silicon oxide film has a thickness of  3  nm or more, and step (iii) continues until the silicon oxide film is reformed from its surface to a depth of 3 nm or more.
