The marks indicate the case of a deposit film of 600 ° C., 0.10 Torr, and 30/30 sccm, respectively. For example, in the case of a 700 ° C. deposit film, abnormal oxidation occurs at 40 to 45 ° or less. In addition, it can be seen that abnormal oxidation occurs as the film formation temperature is lowered from 700 ° C. to 650 ° C. to 600 ° C., and the thinning limit at which the increase in film thickness increases significantly decreases. In other words, the lower the film formation temperature, the thinner the film can be, and the less likely it is to cause abnormal oxidation.
