Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a gate for semiconductor memory devices in which a TaON thin film is used as a gate dielectric film. The disclosed present invention comprises steps of forming a nitride thin film on a semiconductor substrate; forming an amorphous TaON thin film over the nitride films; subjecting the amorphous TaON thin film to effect a crystallization thereof; and forming a polysilicon film as an upper electrode over the crystallized TaON thin film.
