Abstract

A CVD method comprises the steps of making a plasma self-cleaning within a chamber using a gas which includes fluorine, coating an inside of the chamber by a first layer of a material which includes silicon and nitrogen, and forming a second layer on a predetermined surface within the chamber by a chemical vapor deposition. The second layer is made of a material which includes a quantity of nitrogen smaller than a quantity of nitrogen included in the first layer.
