Abstract

The present invention provides a method of forming an insulating layer of a semiconductor device, in which an oxide layer having an optimum nitrogen concentration and also a sufficient thickness may be grown by independently regulating the flow rate of NO and O.sub.2 gas and supplying the NO and O.sub.2 gas to a reaction chamber. This method is such that the NO and O.sub.2 gas is supplied to the chamber by regulating the NO and O.sub.2 gas, while maintaining the inside of the chamber at a temperature of about 750.degree. C. to 1050.degree. C. for a predetermined time, wherein nitrogen is included in a Si/SiO.sub.2 interface.
