Deposition and anneal operations are iterated to break a deposition into a number of sequential deposition-anneal operations to reach a desired annealed dielectric layer thickness. In one particular embodiment, a two step anneal is performed including an NH3 or ND3 ambient followed by an N2O or NO ambient. In one embodiment, such a method is employed to form a dielectric layer having a stoichiometry attainable with only a deposition process but with a uniform material quality uncharacteristically high of a deposition process. In particular embodiments, sequential deposition-anneal operations provide an annealed first dielectric layer upon which a second dielectric layer may be left substantially non-annealed. |
