Abstract

A solution containing a cyclic silane compound, which does not contain carbon, and/or a silane compound modified by boron or phosphorus is applied onto a substrate and a silicon precursor film is formed, and the film is then transformed into semiconductor silicon by heat and/or light treatment. Thereby, it is possible to easily produce a silicon film having satisfactory characteristics as an electronic material at low costs, differing from the vacuum process, such as by CVD methods.
