<Description of the symbols for the main parts of the drawings>

100 semiconductor substrate 101 first oxide film

102: first crystal line film 103: second oxide film

104: high dielectric film 105: polysilicon film

The present invention relates to a method for forming a dielectric film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method for forming a dielectric film having a high dielectric constant.

Recently, semiconductor devices are designed to provide high integration and high performance, and in particular, dielectric films used for MOS transistors and capacitors are formed as thin as possible. This is because the driving current of the MOS transistor increases as the thickness of the gate dielectric film of the MOS transistor decreases, and the storage capacitance increases as the thickness of the dielectric film of the capacitor decreases. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of the device, it is increasingly important to form a dielectric film that is not only extremely thin but also reliable and has few defects.

Conventionally, a silicon oxide film has been used as the gate dielectric film. This is because the process is simple and very stable since the silicon substrate is formed by oxidizing. However, since the silicon oxide film has a low dielectric constant of about 3.9, there is a limit in reducing the thickness of the gate dielectric film made of the silicon oxide film. In addition, in the case where the gate dielectric layer is formed very thin using the silicon oxide layer, a tunnel current flows through the gate dielectric layer, thereby increasing leakage current. Accordingly, a method of forming the gate dielectric layer using a high dielectric material has been developed. When the gate dielectric layer is formed of a high dielectric material, the same capacitance as that of the silicon oxide may be obtained while being formed thicker than that of the silicon oxide. Accordingly, metal oxides having a higher dielectric constant than silicon oxide have been proposed as alternative dielectric materials for gate dielectric films or capacitor dielectric films.

In addition, the silicon substrate surface easily reacts with the high dielectric metal oxide or is easily oxidized during the deposition or subsequent thermal process of the high dielectric metal oxide. Thus, a boundary film such as a silicon oxide film is formed between the silicon substrate and the metal oxide film. As a result, the equivalent oxide film (EOT) thickness is increased to deteriorate the performance of the device.

In addition, when polysilicon is used as the gate electrode, dopants in the polysilicon are diffused, thereby degrading the characteristics of the transistor.
