Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of forming fine particles on a substrate in which reoxidization of reduced fine particles is suppressed. Reduced fine particles (FeO fine particles) are formed by embedding metal oxide fine particles (Fe2O3 fine particles) fixed on a p type silicon semiconductor substrate into a silicon oxidized film, and carrying out a heat treatment in a reducing gas atmosphere. Presence of the silicon oxidized film enables suppression of reoxidization of the reduced fine particles (FeO fine particles) due to exposure to the ambient air.

Abstract:
A semiconductor substrate is placed within a housing. By supplying organometallic complexes and carbon dioxide in a supercritical state into the housing, a BST thin film is formed on a platinum thin film, while at the same time, carbon compounds, which are produced when the BST thin film is formed are removed. The solubility of carbon compounds in the supercritical carbon dioxide is very high, and yet the viscosity of the supercritical carbon dioxide is low. Accordingly, the carbon compounds are removable efficiently from the BST thin film. An oxide or nitride film may also be formed by performing oxidation or nitriding at a low temperature using water in a supercritical or subcritical state, for example.
