Abstract

A selective oxidation process for producing a semiconductor device comprises the step of depositing a silicon oxynitride layer directly on a silicon substrate by a plasma chemical vapor deposition method. After a selective oxidation of the silicon substrate, the silicon oxynitride layer is removed.
