Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming a film on the substrate. The method comprises supplying to the chamber in gaseous or vapor form a silicon containing organic compound and an oxidizing agent in the presence of a plasma to deposit a film on the substrate and setting the film such that carbon containing groups are retained therein. In particular embodiments the setting is achieved by exposing the film to H2 plasma.
