ABSTRACT:
A method is provided with:arranging nitrogen atoms on a surface of a silicon substrate;performing a heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere so that the nitrogen atoms and silicon atoms existing on the surface of the silicon substrate are brought into a three-coordinate bond state; andforming a silicon oxide film on the silicon substrate with the three-coordinate bond state of nitrogen atoms and the silicon atoms being maintained.
