摘要： A low threshold voltage NMIS area and a high threshold voltage PMIS area are set by a photoresist mask also used for well formation. Using a photoresist mask with openings for the NMIS and PMIS, the NMIS and PMIS areas are set by one ion implantation step. After gate oxidation, ion implantation is conducted through an amorphous silicon film onto wells, channels, and gate electrodes. A plurality of CMIS threshold voltages can be set and the gate electrodes of both polarities can be formed in a reduced number of steps using photoresist. This solves the problem in which photomasks are required as many as there are ion implantation types for wells, channel stoppers, gate electrodes, and threshold voltage control and hence the number of manufacturing steps and the production cost are increased.

摘要： A very thin oxide film is formed at an opening formed in an insulator film and a conductor layer, on a substrate, and impurity-containing polysilicon is formed on the sidewall of the opening. Impurity diffusion from the from the silicon into the substrate through the very thin oxide film causes a lowering in effective concentration of the diffused impurities, resulting in the formation of shallower source/drain region. Thereafter, a gate insulator film and a gate electrode are formed on the substrate surface in an area bounded by an insulator film formed on the sidewall of the opening. The gate electrode smaller than the opening, the size of which corresponds to the limit of processing, and the shallower source/drain region afford a miniaturized MOSFET.
