Abstract:
PURPOSE: A semiconductor device which utilizes a high dielectric layer as a gate insulating layer and a manufacturing method thereof are provided to minimize wet etch rate of an upper gate insulating film by forming the upper gate insulating film with nitrogen density lower than the nitrogen density of a lower gate insulating film. CONSTITUTION: A nitrogen-included lower gate insulating film is formed on a semiconductor substrate(1). An upper gate insulating film(11) is formed on the nitrogen-included lower gate insulating film. A lower metal film(18) is formed on the upper gate insulating film. The lower metal film within a first region is selectively removed. A lower metal film pattern remaining within a second region is formed.

PURPOSE: A fabricating method of a semiconductor device is provided to improve the reliability of a whole semiconductor device by forming a first gate insulating film having improved a TDDB(Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown) property. CONSTITUTION: In a fabricating method of a semiconductor device, an epitaxial layer is grown up on a semiconductor substrate(S1010). A capping layer is formed on the epitaxial layer(S1020). A first gate insulating layer is formed by oxidizing the capping layer under oxygen. A second gate insulating layer is formed in the first gate insulating film(S1040).
