Abstract:
The invention encompasses a method of forming a dielectric material. A nitrogen-comprising layer is formed on at least some of the surface of a rugged polysilicon substrate to form a first portion of a dielectric material. After the nitrogen-comprising layer is formed, at least some of the substrate is subjected to dry oxidation with one or both of NO and N2O to form a second portion of the dielectric material. The invention also encompasses a method of forming a capacitor. A layer of rugged silicon is formed over a substrate, and a nitrogen-comprising layer is formed on the layer of rugged silicon. Some of the rugged silicon is exposed through the nitrogen-comprising layer. After the nitrogen-comprising layer is formed, at least some of the exposed rugged silicon is subjected to dry oxidation conditions with one or both of NO and N2O. Subsequently, a conductive material layer is formed over the nitrogen-comprising layer.
