ABSTRACT:
A method of processing a substrate that enables the amount removed of an insulating film to be controlled precisely, without damaging an electronic device. An insulating film on a substrate of a solid-state imaging device is exposed to an atmosphere of a mixed gas containing ammonia and hydrogen fluoride under a predetermined pressure. The insulating film that has been exposed to the atmosphere of the mixed gas is heated to a predetermined temperature.
