Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of obtaining a higher static capacity and a lower leak current characteristic. According to the present invention, the method includes forming a lower electrode and forming a tantalum oxide film. In particular, it performs a plasma process during the process of forming the tantalum oxide film, and in the last step of forming the tantalum oxide firm it controls the amount of source fluid to form a tantalum oxy-nitride film, thus forming an upper electrode.
