Abstract:
A method of forming a dielectric film composed of metal oxide under an atmosphere of activated vapor containing oxygen. In the method of forming the dielectric film, a metal oxide film is formed on a semiconductor substrate using a metal organic precursor and O2 gas while the semiconductor substrate is exposed under activated vapor atmosphere containing oxygen, and then, the metal oxide film is annealed while the semiconductor substrate is exposed under activated vapor containing oxygen. The annealing may take place in situ with the formation of the metal oxide film, at the same or substantially the same temperature as the metal oxide forming, and/or at at least one of a different pressure, oxygen concentration, or oxygen flow rate as the metal oxide forming.

A conductive material is deposited on the entire substrate including the fourth insulating layer to form a storage electrode layer. The storage electrode layer deposited on the surface of the fourth insulating layer is removed, and the fourth insulating layer is exposed to separate the storage electrode.
