A method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising:
- forming a silicon oxide film on a silicon surface at a temperature in an oxidation ambient, wherein the temperature is 650° C. or more and wherein the oxidation ambient comprises oxygen, water vapor, and either helium or neon, and the sum of the oxygen and water vapor partial pressures in the ambient is not less than 133×1011.703-18114/T Pa, wherein T is expressed in Kelvin;
- and
- forming a high dielectric insulation film on the silicon oxide film, wherein the high dielectric insulation film has a dielectric constant greater than that of silicon oxide, and the high dielectric insulation film and the silicon oxide film form a gate insulation layer.
