Definitions
- Plasma CVD method silicon nitride film formation method, semiconductor device manufacturing method, and plasma CVD device
- the present invention relates to a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using plasma, a method of forming a silicon nitride film and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using the method, and a plasma CVD device used in these processes.
- CVD Chemical Vapor Deposition
- a silicon nitride film is used as an insulating film or a protective film in various semiconductor devices.
