Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes heating a substrate having an insulation film thereon to a first substrate temperature so that oxidizing species are emitted from the insulating film, the insulating film having a recessed portion formed in a surface thereof, forming a metal film on the insulating film at a second substrate temperature lower than the first substrate temperature, and oxidizing at least part of the metal film with oxidizing species remaining in the insulating film.
Claims
