| 1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:
forming a precursor film consisting essentially of a mixture of at least one metal and silicon,
forming a gate insulation film by performing a nitriding treatment on the precursor film, and
forming a gate electrode layer on the gate insulation film, wherein the gate insulation film is a high relative permittivity
(high-k) film;
wherein the gate insulation film is formed according to a plasma CVD technology.
