Abstract

Ions are implanted into a silicon nitride film at a dose of not more than 1.times.10.sup.15 cm.sup.-2 so that the projected range of the ions is 20 to 60% of the thickness of the silicon nitride film. This enables the stress of the nitride film to be reduced while enjoying good productivity without introduction of defects into a silicon substrate.
