Abstract

There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device utilizing a gate dielectric film. The present invention can obtain a (Al2O3)X—(TiO2)1−X gate dielectric film where its the dielectric constant is higher than that of Al2O3 and its leakage current characteristic is improved compared to TiO2, by depositing a Ti1−XAlXN film on a semiconductor substrate and then forming the (Al2O3)X—(TiO2)1−X gate dielectric film by oxidization process. Therefore, the present invention can implement a high-speed high-density logic device and an ultra high integration device of more than 1G DRAM class, which utilize a high dielectric material as the gate dielectric film.
