1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
forming a first insulating film, selected from a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, and a silicon oxynitride film, on a semiconductor substrate;
forming a metal compound film on the first insulating film;
forming a second insulating film comprising a metal oxide film or a metal silicate film by oxidizing said metal compound film; and
forming an electrode on said second insulating film,
wherein said metal compound film does not contain tungsten.
