Abstract

A method for forming a wide band gap semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a gate insulation layer on a wide band gap semiconductor substrate and annealing the gate insulation layer using at least a first reactive gas species and a second reactive gas species, wherein the first reactive gas species differs from the second reactive gas species. The method can include forming a gate electrode on the gate insulation layer after annealing the gate insulation layer.
