Abstract

Proposed is an improved method for the formation of a silica-based coating film on the surface of a substrate such as a silicon wafer in the manufacture of semiconductor devices by coating the substrate surface with a polysilazane-containing coating solution followed by conversion of the coating layer of polysilazane into a silica-based coating film. The method comprises drying the coating layer of the polysilazane according to a heating schedule at a specified heating rate with continuous or stepwise increase of the temperature up to 240.degree. to 350.degree. C. followed by an irradiation treatment with far ultraviolet light at a temperature of 240.degree. to 350.degree. C. and then by a baking treatment at 350.degree. to 800.degree. C.
