N2 - We propose a new method to estimate the local dielectric constant of an ultrathin gate insulator film formed on Si substrates by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). First we measure the difference of core-level binding energy shifts for Si Is and Si 2p, ΔE1s - ΔE 2p, for various Si compounds using high-resolution high-energy synchrotron radiation. We find that the ΔE1s - ΔE 2p values are in very good correlation with the dielectric constant values of the Si compounds. Then, using this relation, we deduce the local dielectric constant for ultrathin SiO2 film formed on Si substrates. The results are in good agreement with values predicted by a first-principles calculation.
