Abstract
Method for forming a gate oxide film in a semiconductor device, in which a gate oxide film is formed by a first and second processes of oxidizing and nitriding, wherein the first process uses gases having different nitrogen contents from the second process for improving device performances, including the steps of (1) providing a semiconductor substrate, (2) conducting a thermal process in a compound gas environment of oxygen and nitrogen having a nitrogen content below 5%, to form a first oxynitride film on the semiconductor substrate, and (3) conducting a thermal process in a compound gas environment of oxygen and nitrogen having a nitrogen content equal to or over 5%, to form a second oxynitride film.
