Abstract

Provided is a method of forming a semiconductor device. The method can include loading a semiconductor substrate into semiconductor equipment. A base layer can be formed on the loaded semiconductor substrate by performing a base deposition process using a base source material. A first silicon layer can be formed on the base layer to a greater thickness than the base layer by performing a first silicon deposition process using a silicon source material different from the base source material. A first nitrided silicon layer can be formed by nitriding the first silicon layer using a first nitridation process. The semiconductor substrate having the first nitrided silicon layer can be unloaded from the semiconductor equipment.
