Abstract: A method for forming a tantalum oxynitride film which is used as a high-permittivity dielectric film of a semiconductor device. In the method of the present invention, a tantalum-containing film is first formed on a semiconductor substrate, and then the tantalum-containing film is converted into a tantalum oxynitride film using a heat treatment or a plasma treatment in a reactive gas. According to the method of the present invention, the tantalum oxynitride film can be easily formed using process conditions established in prior art processes.
