Abstract
A process for forming a contact which comprises (i) forming on a semiconductor substrate a LOCOS oxide film and a conductive pattern thereon, respectively, (ii) forming a first dielectric film and a second dielectric film on a semiconductor substrate including the LOCOS oxide film and the conductive pattern, respectively, and applying a heat treatment to the substrate, (iii) depositing a SiO film while the second dielectric film in a slant or tapered form formed over the edge portion of the conductive pattern is etched, wherein the deposition and etching is conducted by using Bias ECR method, thereby providing uniform thickness of each of the first and second dielectric films and the SiO film at a predetermined contact forming part, and (iv) forming a contact at the predetermined contact forming part.
