Abstract
Disclosed is an MOCVD method of forming a tantalum oxide film. First, water vapor used as an oxidizing agent is supplied into a process container to cause moisture to be adsorbed on a surface of each semiconductor wafer. Then, PET gas used as a raw material gas is supplied into the process container and is caused to react with the moisture on the wafer at a process temperature of 200° C., thereby forming an interface layer of tantalum oxide. Then, PET gas and oxygen gas are supplied into the process container at the same time, and are caused to react with each other at a process temperature of 410° C., thereby forming a main layer of tantalum oxide on the interface layer.
