FIGS. 1 to 5 are process diagrams for manufacturing a microstructure of a MEMS device according to a conventional technique. These techniques were announced at Berkley University in the United States, and a uniform film was formed on a silicon film as a microstructure. PSG as a sacrificial layer

In the invention, a vapor phase (gasp) using anhydrous HF and methanol (CH3OH) which is not in a liquid state is used.
hase) By using the etching method, the problem of sticking of the fine structure is prevented. In addition, a polysilicon film was formed on the insulating film (nitride film) as a lower layer of the sacrificial layer in order to suppress the generation of the residual material (SiNO compound) generated during the vapor phase etching, thereby preventing the generation of the residual material.

When the film was etched by the vapor phase etching method as described above, etching residue was observed from the similarly etched surface. Further, when PSG on the nitride film and the polysilicon film was etched by the vapor phase etching method as described above, similarly, a residual substance was observed from the etched surface. However, after etching the TEOS layer on the polysilicon film, no residual substance was observed on the surface, and no sticking phenomenon occurred.

い。In the case where TOES as a sacrificial layer is stacked on the nitride film, the residual material generated when the TOES is removed by the vapor phase etching method is analyzed. As a result, the structure of the residual material is determined by the Si bond state of the TOES film. SiO2 composition appears in the form of SiOxNy from the interface with the nitride film.
SiOx Ny remains as a residual substance without being evaporated in the vapor phase etching. However, on the surface of the polysilicon, since the TEOS film is bonded only in the form of SiOx, no residue is generated by etching.
