Abstract

According to example embodiments, a method of forming a layer includes: forming a dielectric layer using a metal precursor expressed by one of R3yM(NR1R2)x-y and M(OR1R2) and using a silicon precursor expressed by HzSi(NR4R5)4-z. Each of “R1”, “R2”, “R3”, “R4”, and “R5” are hydrogen or hydrocarbon; “R3” is different than “R1” and “R2”; “x” is in the range of 3 to 5; “y” is in the range of 1 to 4; “z” is in the range of 2 to 3; and “M” is a metal. The dielectric layer is a metal silicate layer or a metal nitride layer doped with silicon.
