ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of forming a high-k dielectric layer on a semiconductor wafer. A metal silicate dielectric layer is initially deposited on the wafer. A dopant having dissociable oxygen is introduced into the metal silicate on the wafer. According to one embodiment the metal silicate comprises a group IV metal and the dopant is an oxide of one of an alkaline metal and an alkaline earth metal. According to another embodiment the metal silicate comprises a group III metal.
