Method for forming a silicon oxide film on a silicon waffer

摘要

Disclosed is a method of forming a silicon oxide film on a silicon wafer, comprises the steps of keeping a supersaturated hydrofluoric acid solution of silicon oxide on the surface of a silicon wafer in a thickness of not more than 20 mm, the solution having a predetermined temperature, heating the supersaturated solution until the solution reaches a thermal equilibrium, and maintaining for a predetermined period of time the temperature at which a thermal equilibrium is established in the supersaturated solution so as to form a silicon oxide film on the surface of the silicon wafer.
