Abstract
Patterning is performed in such a manner that an end portion fabricated of a second gate insulating film partially overlaps an end portion fabricated of a first gate insulating film. Then, a surface recovery treatment is performed in the aforementioned state where the first and second gate insulating films partially overlap each other.
Claims14
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
- subjecting a surface of a semiconductor substrate to element isolation to demarcate a first active region and a second active region;
- forming a first gate insulating film on the first active region and the second active region;
- fabricating the first gate insulating film and leaving the first gate insulating film in such a manner that an end portion fabricated of the first gate insulating film is located on any portion other than a first gate electrode forming region in the first active region and a second gate electrode forming region in the second active region;
- forming a second gate insulating film on the first active region and the second active region, including on the first gate insulating film;
- fabricating the second gate insulating film and leaving the second gate insulating film in such a manner that an end portion fabricated of the second gate insulating film overlaps the end portion fabricated of the first gate insulating film;
- simultaneously subjecting a surface of the first gate insulating film and a surface of the second gate insulating film to a surface recovery treatment;
- and
- pattern-forming a first gate electrode on the first gate electrode forming region with the first gate insulating film therebetween and a second gate electrode on the second gate electrode forming region with the second gate insulating film therebetween, respectively.
