Abstract:
Provided is a technique of adjusting a work function. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a film having a predetermined thickness and containing a first metal element, carbon and nitrogen on a substrate by: (a) forming a first layer containing the first metal element and carbon by supplying a metal-containing gas containing the first metal element and a carbon-containing gas to the substrate M times and (b) forming a second layer containing the first metal element, carbon and nitrogen by supplying a nitrogen-containing gas to the substrate having the first layer formed thereon N times to nitride the first layer, wherein M and N are selected in a manner that a work function of the film has a predetermined value (where M and N are natural numbers).

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first metal element comprises one selected from the group consisting of tantalum, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, ruthenium, yttrium, lanthanum, zirconium and hafnium.
