ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a gate dielectric, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit. The method for manufacturing the gate dielectric, without limitation, may include forming a nitrided dielectric layer (520) over a substrate (310), the nitrided dielectric layer (520) having a non-uniformity of nitrogen in a bulk thereof, and removing at least a portion of the nitrided dielectric layer (520) using a high temperature chemical treatment, the removing reducing the non-uniformity.
