ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a gate dielectric having a flat nitrogen profile, a method of manufacture therefor, and a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit including the flat nitrogen profile. In one embodiment, the method of manufacturing the gate dielectric includes forming a gate dielectric layer (410) on a substrate (310), and subjecting the gate dielectric layer (410) to a nitrogen containing plasma process (510), wherein the nitrogen containing plasma process (510) has a ratio of helium to nitrogen of 3:1 or greater.
