In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, according to the present invention, first, a dummy gate electrode consisting of a semiconductor layer and a non-metal cap layer formed on the semiconductor layer, is formed above a substrate. Then, diffusion layers are formed respectively on both sides of the dummy gate electrode. The dummy gate is used as a mask here, and thus the diffusion layers are self-aligned respectively with both sides of the dummy gate electrode. The formation of these diffusion layers requires a high-temperature heat treatment, however since the cap layer is made of a non-metal material, it is not melted down even in the high-temperature heat treatment. Next, the cap layer formed on the semiconductor layer is removed, and a gate groove made by the removal is filled with metal. Thus, a metal gate electrode made of a semiconductor layer and a metal layer is completed. As described above, in the present invention, first, a dummy gate electrode is formed of a non-metal cap layer, and the cap layer is removed after the formation of the diffusion layers, followed by filling the created gate groove with a metal. In this manner, the self-alignment of the diffusion layers and the metallization of the gate electrode can be achieved at the same time.

A MOS random access memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having a trench formed therein, and an array of memory cells on the substrate. Each of the memory cells includes a 1-bit data-storage capacitor and a transfer-gate MOS transistor. The capacitor includes an insulated layer buried in the trench, which serves as a storage node. An island-shaped semiconductor layer covers the storage-node layer at least partially on the substrate, and is coupled thereto. The transistor has a source and a drain defining a channel region therebetween in the substrate, and an insulated gate overlying the channel region. One of the source and drain is directly coupled to the island-shaped layer, while the other of them is contacted with a corresponding data-transfer line (bit line) associated therewith.
