    摘要: A method of nitriding the gate oxide layer of a semiconductor device includes the chemical growth on a silicon substrate of a native silicon oxide layer ≦1 nm thick; treating said substrate coated with the native silicon oxide layer with gas NO at a temperature ≦700° C. and a pressure level ≦104 Pa to obtain a nitrided native silicon oxide layer; and the growth of the gate oxide layer. The method is applicable to PMOS devices. Further modifications and alternative embodiments of various aspects of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of this description. Accordingly, this description is to be construed as illustrative only and is for the purpose of teaching those skilled in the art the general manner of carrying out the invention. It is to be understood that the forms of the invention shown and described herein are to be taken as the presently preferred embodiments. Elements and materials may be substituted for those illustrated and described herein, parts and processes may be reversed, and certain features of the invention may be utilized independently, all as would be apparent to one skilled in the art after having the benefit of this description of the invention. Changes may be made in the elements described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as described in the following claims.
