Abstract

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes the forming a first oxide over a substrate; depositing a first insulator over the first oxide; forming an opening reaching the first oxide in the first insulator; depositing a first oxide film in contact with the first oxide and the first insulator in the opening; depositing a first insulating film over the first oxide film by a PEALD method; depositing a first conductive film over the first insulating film; and removing part of the first oxide film, part of the first insulating film, and part of the first conductive film until a top surface of the first insulator is exposed to form a second oxide, a second insulator, and a first conductor. The deposition of the first insulating film is performed while the substrate is heated to higher than or equal to 300°.
