| 20110024875 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A high-k capacitor insulating film stable at a higher temperature is formed. There is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method comprises: forming an amorphous first insulating film comprising a first element on a substrate; adding a second element different from the first element to the first insulating film so as to form an amorphous second insulating film on the substrate; and annealing the second insulating film at a predetermined annealing temperature so as to form a third insulating film by changing a phase of the second insulating film. The concentration of the second element added to the first insulating film is controlled according to the annealing temperature. | 02-03-2011 |
