Abstract

A silicon oxide film 102 , a Pt film 103 x , a Ti film 104 x and a PZT film 105 x are deposited in this order over a Si substrate 101 . The Si substrate 101 is placed in a chamber 106 so that the PZT film 105 x is irradiated with an EHF wave 108 . The irradiation with the EHF wave locally heats a dielectric film such as the PZT film. As a result, it is possible to improve, for example, the leakage property of the dielectric film without adversely affecting a device formed on the Si substrate 101.
