Abstract

A coating solution of SOG is applied on a silicon oxynitride film ( 11 ) and precured. As a result, moisture contained in the coating solution volatilizes, and an SOG film ( 12 ) is formed. Next, a coating solution of SOG is applied on the SOG film ( 12 ) and precured. As a result, an SOG film ( 13 ) is formed. Thereafter, a coating solution of SOG is applied on the SOG film ( 13 ) and precured. As a result, an SOG film ( 14 ) is formed. Subsequently, a main cure of the SOG films ( 12, 13 , and 14 ) is performed. The viscosity of the coating solution of SOG used for forming the SOG film ( 12 ) is lower than those of the coating solutions of SOG used for forming the SOG films ( 13 and 14 ).
