Abstract

Abstract The presend invention relates to a semiconductor device including a MOS transistor which is formed with a source region (6; 6a), a drain region (6; 6a) and a channel region (7) by the use of polycrystalline silicon, and a method of amnufacturing the semiconductor device. Ions of carbon, oxygen or/and nitrogen are introduced into a polycrystalline silicon layer (3) over the whole area thereof, and restrain conductive ions in the source and drain regions (6; 6a) from diffusing into the channel region (7).
