Abstract

Provided is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including a high-k dielectric thin layer formed using an interfacial reaction. The method includes the steps of: forming an oxide layer on a silicon substrate; depositing a metal layer on the oxide layer to form a metal silicate layer using an interfacial reaction between the oxide layer and the metal layer; forming a metal gate by etching the metal silicate layer and the metal layer; and forming a lightly doped drain (LDD) region and source and drain regions in the silicon substrate after forming the metal gate. In this method, a semiconductor device having high quality and performance can be manufactured by a simpler process at lower cost.
