Abstract
Abstract The oxynitride film according to the present invention contains Ga and/or Al and has O/N ratio of at least 0.15. This film is obtained by relying on, for example, chemical vapor deposition technique. The O/N ratio in the film may be varied by, for example, varying the distance between the substrate and the substance-supply source, or by varying the proportion of an oxidizing gas contained in a carrier gas. This film is used either as a surface passivation film of III-V compound semiconductors such as GaAs, or as an insulating film for active surface portions of IG-FET, or as an optical anti-reflective film. This is a division of application Ser. No. 215,442 filed Dec. 11, 1980, now Pat. 4,331,737, which in turn is a continuation of application Ser.No. 23,766, filed Mar. 26, 1979.
