Abstract

A method of the invention for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming an oxide film having a non-uniform thickness on silicon; reducing at least a portion of the oxide film using gas containing a metal element, and growing a metal film containing the metal element on the silicon by reacting an exposed surface of the silicon with the gas; and removing the metal film.
