Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the surface of a substrate from which an SiO2 film is removed hydrophilic and facilitate avoiding adhesion of dust by employing solution of hydrofluoric acid mixed with alcohol as etchant. CONSTITUTION:When an SiO2 film formed on an Si substrate is etched by solution of hydrofluoric acid containing alcohol, water-repellent radicals in alcohol are adsorbed by the water-repellent surface of the substrate from which the SiO2 film is removed and, as a result, the substrate surface is covered with hydrophilic OH radicals constituting alcohol to make the substrate surface hydrophilic so that adhesion of dust can be avoided. Therefore, rate of pattern defects can be reduced and pin-holes in the SiO2 film can be avoided.
