A desired property for a metal gate electrode layer is that it can cover a three-dimensional semiconductor structure having a microstructure with high step coverage. Another desired property for the metal gate electrode layer is that the surface of a deposited electrode layer is flat on a nanometer scale, enables a dielectric layer for electrical insulation to be coated without performing special planization after deposition of the electrode layer. Furthermore, another desired property for the metal gate electrode layer is that it has the similar etching workability to materials used in an ordinary semiconductor manufacturing process. Furthermore, another desired property for the metal gate electrode layer is that it has a structure in which diffusion of impurity is suppressed due to homogeneity thereof and the absence of grain boundaries. It was found that an amorphous metal electrode is most suitable for realizing the metal gate electrode layer satisfying the above-mentioned properties and thereby the present invention was achieved.

A semiconductor device includes a silicon substrate, an SiO film, and a High-K film. The SiO film is first formed on the silicon substrate and then subjected to a nitridation process to obtain an SiON film from the SiO film. The nitridation process is performed such that nitrogen concentration in the SiO film decreases from an interface with the silicon substrate below and an interface with the High-K film above, and nitrogen having predetermined concentration or more is introduced in a thickness within a range of 0.2 nm to 1 nm from the interface with the silicon substrate. The SiON film is etched up to a depth to which nitrogen of the predetermined concentration or more is introduced. The High-K film is then formed on the SiON film.

A control section of an optical switch calculates information relating to a polarization amount in an insulating film at each predetermined time, to update the information relating to the polarization amount in the insulating film. On the other hand, when a drive voltage is applied to a MEMS mirror, an initial value of the drive voltage corresponding to an input setting command is read out from an initial value memory, and also, the information relating to the polarization amount in the insulating film is read out from the polarization amount memory, and the initial value of the drive voltage is corrected according to the read information relating to the polarization amount in the insulating film, to thereby set a new drive voltage, and the new drive voltage is applied on electrodes of the MEMS mirror.
