A method is provided for depositing a high dielectric constant (high-k) film for integrated circuits (ICs) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The method includes exposing a substrate to one or more metal precursors and plurality of oxidation sources to deposit a high-k film with a desired thickness and tailored properties. The plurality of oxidation sources contain a first oxidation source containing H2O, H2O2, or a combination thereof, and a second oxidation source containing oxygen radicals (O), O3, or O2, or a combination of two or more thereof. The high-k film may contain one or more metal elements selected from alkaline earth elements, rare earth elements, and Group IVB elements of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
