Abstract
A native oxide film is formed on the surface of a silicon substrate. The native oxide film has at least island-shaped imperfect SiO.sub.2 regions not formed with a perfect SiO.sub.2 film. Before the native oxide film is formed, a mask layer having a necessary opening is formed over the silicon substrate, according to necessity. The silicon substrate is etched in a vapor phase via the imperfect SiO.sub.2 regions of the native oxide film to form a hollow under the native oxide film at least at a partial region thereof. An upper film is formed on the native oxide film to cover and close the imperfect SiO.sub.2 regions. In this manner, a minute hollow can be formed in the silicon substrate with good controllability.
