ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device on a Si substrate includes a first step of forming an insulation film containing an oxide of Zr or Hf on a Si substrate, a second step of forming a gate electrode film on the insulation film, a third step of patterning the gate electrode film by an etching process, a fourth step of annealing, after the third step, the insulation film in a processing gas ambient containing halogen, and a fifth step of removing the insulation film applied with the annealing process.
