Abstract

Provided are methods of manufacturing dielectric films including forming a first dielectric film on a wafer using atomic layer deposition (ALD) in a first batch type apparatus, forming a second dielectric film on the first dielectric film using atomic layer deposition in a second batch type apparatus, wherein the second dielectric film has a higher crystallization temperature than the first dielectric film and forming a third dielectric film on the second dielectric film using atomic layer deposition in a third batch type apparatus. Methods of manufacturing metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors using the methods of forming the dielectric films and batch type atomic layer deposition apparatus for forming the dielectric films are also provided.
