摘要： The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. After depositing the metal gate electrode material, a layer of oxygen molecule catalyzing layer having a catalyzing function to the oxygen molecules is deposited, and afterwards, a low-temperature PMA annealing process is used to decompose the oxygen molecules in the annealing atmosphere into more active oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms are diffused into the high-k gate dielectric film through the metal gate to supplement the oxygen vacancies in the high-k film, in order to alleviate oxygen vacancies in the high-k film and improve the quality of the high-k film. According to the present invention, the oxygen vacancies and defects of high-k gate dielectric film will be alleviated, and further, growth of SiOx interface layer having a low dielectric constant caused by the traditional PDA high temperature process may be prevented. Thereby, the EOT of the entire gate dielectric layer may be effectively controlled, and the MOS device may be continuously scaled. Meanwhile, the present invention further provides a semiconductor device obtained according to the above-mentioned method.

摘要： A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. A multi-component high-k interface layer containing elements of the substrate is formed from a ultra-thin high-k dielectric material in a single-layer structure of atoms by rapid annealing in the manufacturing of a CMOS transistor by the replacement gate process, and a high-k gate dielectric layer with a higher dielectric constant and a metal gate layer are formed thereon. The EOT of the device is effectively decreased, and the diffusion of atoms in the high-k gate dielectric layer from an upper level thereof is effectively prevented by the optimized high-k interface layer at high-temperature treatment. Thus, the present invention may also avoid the growth of the interface layers and the degradation of carrier mobility. Furthermore, the present invention may further alleviate the problem of high interface state and interface roughness caused by direct contact of the high-k gate dielectric layer with high dielectric constant and the substrate, and thus the overall performance of the device is effectively enhanced.
