BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a plasma doping method performed on a substrate or a thin layer. [Prior Art] Generally, during the fabrication of a semiconductor device, doping is performed to obtain electrical characteristics of a desired substrate or thin layer (e.g., a germanium). A beamline ion implantation method is mainly used as a doping method. The beamline ion implantation method uses an electric field to accelerate ions to be implanted (i.e., has high kinetic energy). The accelerated ions collide with the surface of the solid material. Therefore, the ions can be implanted into the substrate. Recently, a plasma doping method has been used. In the plasma doping method, the source material of the ions to be implanted is in a gaseous state. A plasma is formed and then a high bias is applied to the sample to be doped. Therefore, the positive ions of the plasma are accelerated to the surface of the sample and are implanted therein. Therefore, the plasma doping method can perform uniform doping and improve the doping ratio. Moreover, compared to the beam ion implantation method, since the plasma doping method does not require the use of a separate ion generating source (i.e., ion beam) and an acceleration device, the manufacturing cost of the device can be reduced. 1A to 1C illustrate a typical 200807514 method for fabricating a semiconductor device. As shown in FIG. 1A, a plurality of device isolation layers 12 are formed in the sections of the substrate 11. A gate insulating layer 13 is formed on the substrate 11 and a gate polysilicon layer 14 is formed on the gate insulating layer 13. A plasma doping method is performed to dope the gate polysilicon layer 14 with a P-type impurity. As shown in Fig. 1B, an annealing treatment is performed to activate the P-type impurity doped in the gate polysilicon layer 14. As shown in FIG. 1C, a metal silicide layer, such as a gate tungsten silicide layer 15, is formed on the gate polysilicon layer 14, and then the pattern is executed. The process is used as a follow-up process. If the plasma doping method described above is carried out, an excessively high impurity concentration may exist above the upper surface of the thin layer. Fig. 2 is a graph showing a typical line pattern of impurities doped on a sample formed with a gate polysilicon layer by a beam line ion implantation method and a plasma doping method. The horizontal axis represents the depth of the sample, and the vertical axis represents the boron concentration used as the P-type impurity. A depth of about 800 A indicates the depth of the interface between the upper surface of the gate oxide layer and the gate polysilicon layer. In more detail, the gate polysilicon layer has a depth of about 800 Å. Referring to Fig. 2, the impurity line type obtained by the plasma doping method and the impurity line type obtained by the ion implantation method are compared. Compared to the beam line ion implantation, when performing the plasma doping method, impurities on the surface of the gate polysilicon layer (for example, at the portion of the gate polysilicon layer corresponding to a depth of about 0 A) The concentration system is relatively large. In particular, although the impurity concentration exhibits a Gaussian distribution at about 200 A in the beamline ion implantation method, in the plasma doping method, the impurity concentration is on the upper surface of the gate polysilicon layer. maximum. 200807514 Fig. 3 is a graph showing a typical line pattern of impurities doped by a beam line ion implantation method and a plasma doping method after performing an annealing treatment. The reference marks and _ represent the different types of impurities used in the plasma doping method. Through the annealing treatment, the impurities are activated to fall to the lower surface of the gate polysilicon layer (e.g., around the upper surface of the gate oxide layer). In the case of performing the plasma doping method, the maximum impurity concentration is measured on the surface above the gate polysilicon layer, i.e., at a depth of about 0 A at the gate polysilicon layer. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, if the plasma doping method is performed, although the annealing treatment is performed, a large amount of impurities may exist above the upper surface of the gate polysilicon layer. During the subsequent annealing process, impurities present above the upper surface of the gated germanium layer are diffused toward the upper layer of the gate polysilicon layer (e.g., metal germanide layer). Therefore, the doping effect around the surface of the gate polysilicon layer suddenly decreases. That is, an associated impurity depletion effect is generated on the surface of the gate polysilicon layer. This reduction in doping effect causes an increase in the impedance of the gate polysilicon layer. Further, the saturation current characteristics of a P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor having a gate formed of a polysilicon doped with a P + -type impurity may be deteriorated. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a plasma doping method for reducing concentration spikes around a surface of the upper layer. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device in which the external expansion of impurities in the gate polysilicon layer is prevented, thereby reducing the impurity depletion effect of the gate polysilicon layer. In one embodiment, a plasma doping method includes providing a dopant source over a substrate, wherein the dopant source has a dopant to be implanted into the substrate. A dopant from the dopant source is implanted into the substrate by applying at least two different bias voltages. In another embodiment, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a polysilicon layer over a substrate. The plasma doping method is doped using a plasma doping method, and the plasma doping method is performed using at least two different bias voltages. [Embodiment] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plasma doping method can be applied to various steps of a semiconductor device manufacturing process. For example, the plasma doping method can be applied to dope a body substrate formed of a semiconductor material (eg, germanium). The semiconductor material is an epitaxial layer. Additionally, the plasma doping method can be applied to dope a thin layer formed over the upper portion of the substrate. In particular, the plasma doping method of an embodiment of the present invention is useful in doping a gated polysilicon layer. 4A through 4D illustrate an exemplary method of fabricating a semiconductor device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4A, a plurality of device isolation layers 42 are formed in a substrate 41 (e.g., a germanium substrate). The device isolation layer 42 is formed by a shallow trench isolation (STI) method. A gate insulating layer 43 is formed over the substrate 41. The gate insulating layer 43 may be an oxide layer formed by a thermal oxidation method, a dry oxidation method or a wet oxidation method. A gate resolving layer 200807514 is formed over the gate insulating layer 43 as a gate electrode. In a highly integrated memory device, the gate polysilicon layer 44 has a depth in the range of from about 400A to about 1,200A. However, the depth of the gate polysilicon layer 44 can vary depending on the type of device. As shown in Fig. 4B, when the bias amount is varied to dope the gate polysilicon layer 44, a plasma doping method is performed. In more detail, the doped source gas is added to the upper portion of the gate polysilicon layer 44. The source gas is then converted to plasma ions and the plasma ions are accelerated into the gate polysilicon layer 44 by biasing the substrate 41. According to an embodiment of the invention, the amount of bias is not fixed but varies continuously. In the case of boron (B) doped with a P-type impurity, boron trifluoride (BF3) or boron hydride (B2H6) is used as the source gas. During the plasma doping method, the bias amount changes from a low voltage level to a local voltage level, or from a still voltage level to a low voltage level. In particular, if the reference bias voltage (Vref) is set at about 8 kV, the bias amount can be varied within a range of about 8 kV ± 2 kV. For example, if a reference bias voltage (Vref) of about 8 kV is used, the doping is performed by applying a bias voltage that rises from about 6 kV to about 10 kV or from about 10 kV to about 6 kV. Therefore, when the bias amount is changed, if the plasma doping method is performed, an impurity line type similar to that obtained by the beam line ion implantation method is obtained. In particular, the impurity line type exhibits a Gaussian distribution based on a portion lower than the upper surface of the gate polysilicon layer 44. During the plasma doping method, the doping amount can be uniformly maintained for each bias amount. In more detail, the plasma doping method is performed using a dose of about 1 xi 〇 16 atoms/cm 2 200807514 at a bias amount of about 10 kV, about 9 kV, about 8 kV, about 7 kV, and about 6 kV. Moreover, during the plasma doping method, the doping amount can be varied when the bias is applied. When the reference bias is applied, the amount is used. Therefore, the impurity line type exhibits a Gaussian distribution. For example, a dose of about 5xl016 atoms/cm2 and a bias amount of about 10 kV to be used to perform the plasma doping method in three steps, a dose of about lxl010 atoms/cm2 is used; A dose of about 3 x 1 016 at 〇ms / c m2 is used, and a dose of about lxl016 atoms/cm2 is used. As shown in Fig. 4C, an annealing treatment is performed to activate the impurities in the doped germanium layer 44. Due to the annealing treatment, the impurity is the gate insulating layer 43. The annealing treatment involves the use of rapid heat and is carried out for 1 second to about 60 seconds at a temperature ranging from about 850 ° C to about 1,100 ° C. As described above, if the method is performed while the bias amount is changed, the impurity line type can exhibit a Gaussian distribution over the gate polysilicon layer 44, similar to the ion line pattern of the ion implantation through the beam line. As shown in Fig. 4D, a tungsten layer 45 is formed on the gate polysilicon layer 44. If the tungsten-deposited tungsten layer 45 is not used, a metal layer other than the material layer or the vaporized layer can be used. After the formation of the tungsten-deposited tungsten layer 45, it is treated by heat treatment. However, since the impurity in the gate polysilicon layer 44 is in the central portion of the gate polysilicon layer 44, although the amount of change is performed, the highest dose is used, and if I is to use about 6 kV, 10kV at about 8kV and at about 6kV in the gate is activated by the orientation-oriented treatment (RTP), the RTP reaches about the plasma doping side, and the method obtained by the nearby method forms a deuterated metal deuteration as a subsequent mass distribution heat treatment. , but --10-200807514 The out-diffusion towards the tungsten-deposited tungsten layer 45 can be controlled. Therefore, the increase in the impedance of the gate polysilicon layer 44 can be prevented, and the saturation current characteristics of the P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor are not deteriorated. Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram of inversitivity of various types of doping methods. Reference letter A represents a method that is typically performed by implanting boron. The reference letter B represents a plasma doping method which is typically performed without changing the amount of bias. The reference letter C represents a plasma doping method performed when the bias amount is changed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 5, the various types of inversion capacitances of the doping methods labeled A, B, and C are compared. When Method C is used, the level of the reversed capacitance is the largest. When the level of the reversed capacitance is small, the threshold voltage of the device increases, and thus the operational characteristics of the device deteriorate. Therefore, since the level of the inversion capacitance is increased by the plasma doping method of the embodiment of the present invention, the characteristics of the device are improved. According to an embodiment of the invention, the plasma doping method is performed when the bias amount is changed. Due to the plasma doping method, the impurity line type exhibits a Gaussian distribution near the upper surface of the thin layer, similar to the impurity line type obtained by the typical beam line ion implantation method. Therefore, the out-diffusion of the impurities can be reduced, and thus the deterioration of the electrical characteristics of the device can be reduced. When the present invention is described in terms of the specific embodiments, various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
