A semiconductor device which has an interlayer insulating film comprised of molecules with silicon-oxygen bonds and silicon-fluorine bonds and contains a rare gas in concentration higher than 1011 atoms per cm2. The interlayer insulating film is preferably a fluorine-containing silicon oxide film which contains a rare gas. In a manufacturing process, an interlayer insulating is formed by a chemical vapor deposition from a material gas including a silicon-containing gas, a fluorine compound gas, a rare gas, and oxygen. The silicon-containing gas is preferably SiH4 gas, and the fluorine compound gas is preferably SiF4 gas. The flow rate of the rare gas is greater than three times the total flow rate of the SiH4 gas and SiF4 gas. The rare gas is at least one type of gas selected from neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), and xenon (Xe).
