On a semiconductor substrate are successively deposited a silicon dioxide film and a silicon nitride film. The silicon nitride film, the silicon dioxide film, and the semiconductor substrate are sequentially etched using a photoresist film with an opening corresponding to an isolation region, thereby forming a trench. After depositing a diffusion preventing film, there is deposited an insulating film for isolation having reflowability. Although a void is formed in the insulating film for isolation in the isolation region, the insulating film for isolation is caused to reflow, thereby eliminating the void. After that, the whole substrate is planarized by CMP so as to remove the silicon nitride film and the silicon dioxide film, followed by the formation of gate insulating films, gate electrodes, sidewalls, and source/drain regions in respective element formation regions. Thus, in a highly integrated semiconductor device having a trench isolation, degradation of reliability resulting from the opening of the void in the surface of isolation is prevented.

Gate electrodes of an N-channel transistor and a P-channel transistor are formed on a semiconductor substrate with a gate insulator therebetween. After conducting a first thermal treatment to the gate electrodes, N-type heavily doped diffusion layers to be a source or a drain of the N-channel transistor are formed using the gate electrode of the N-channel transistor as a mask. After conducting a second thermal treatment to the N-type heavily doped diffusion layers at a lower temperature than that of the first thermal treatment, P-type heavily doped diffusion layers to be a source or a drain of the P-channel transistor are formed using the gate electrode of the P-channel transistor as a mask. Then, a third thermal treatment is conducted to the P-type heavily doped diffusion layers at a lower temperature than that of the second thermal treatment.

摘要:
An image forming apparatus which is capable of reducing the number of times a second member is separated from a first member upon entry into power-save mode, thereby minimizing failures of a separation unit. A pressure-roller separating mechanism is provided so as to abut and separate a pressure roller and a fixing roller against/from each other. The image forming apparatus is controlled to change to a power-save mode in which power consumption of the image forming apparatus is reduced. The pressure-roller separating mechanism is controlled to separate the pressure roller and the fixing roller from each other in the power-save mode based on a measurement result measured by a timer, and the power-save mode is maintained after the pressure roller and the fixing roller are separated from each other.
