Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve remarkably the reliability of an LSI wherein wiring is corrected and to make it possible to use an apparatus for tests for a long period and as a product for sample shipment by projecting the laser light or ultraviolet rays which are light source for laser CVD, and forming a surface protecting insulating film only at a required part. CONSTITUTION:Laser light which is condensed through an objective lens 4 is projected on the surface of a sample 5 in a chamber 2 through a quartz window glass 3 provided on the surface of the chamber 2. Especially, at the initial stage for forming a metal thin film, ultraviolet light is used so as to facilitate formation of a core material. Then, an x-y stage 10 is driven, and the light source is switched to visible laser light at a stage where the metal thin film is formed in the wiring state. The ultraviolet light can be readily obtained by doubling the output of a visible-region laser 11 with a wavelength converter 13. After the necessary metal wiring is formed by a CVD method, the step is moved to the next step for forming a protecting film of insulating material 7 on the surface. The insulating material 7 is supplied through a nozzle 6 in the proximity of the surface of the sample 5 with a valve opening and closing means using a discharge pump or a solenoid which can supply constant amount.
