  • Patent number: 6355516
    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a capacitor in a semiconductor device capable of effectively removing the organic impurity of a Ta2O5 film by performing an in-situ plasma process using the mixture gas of nitrogen and oxygen during the process of forming the Ta2O5 film as the dielectric film of the capacitor. Thus, it can reduce the impurity of the Ta2O5 film to increase the supply of oxygen, and thus can improve the dielectric and leak current characteristic of the Ta2O5 film. Further, it can prohibit oxidization of the underlying electrode, thus reducing the thickness of the equivalent oxide film of the capacitor as possible and sufficiently securing the capacitance of the capacitor.
