Abstract

Continuously after forming a semiconductive film, a conducting film is formed on the semiconductive film. This conducting film serves as a block film for blocking diffusion of oxygen when a heated wafer is transferred from a furnace to the atmosphere. As a result, oxygen is prevented from entering the semiconductive film from the outside and diffusing therein. Further, after protecting the semiconductive film, the conducting film is entirely removed by etching.
