Formation of gate electrode of mos transistor
Abstract
Abstract PURPOSE:To protect a substrate agaist damage by a method wherein a second polycrystalline silicon doped with impurity is deposited on a first polycrystalline silicon two times as thick as the first polycrystalline silicon, and a gate electrode is subjected to etching so as to leave the first polycrystalline unremoved. CONSTITUTION:A non-doped polycrystalline silicon 3 low in etching rate for a reactive-ion etching is deposited as thick as 1000Angstrom before a doped polycrystalline silicon 4 is deposited. Next, the polycrystalline silicon 4 is so etched as to leave the non-doped polycrystalline silicon 3 unremoved. Then disused impurity left is removed as an insulator by oxidizing the non-doped polycrystalline silicon 3. Further, the polycrystalline silicon 4 is made to be two times or more as thick as the polycrystalline silicon 3. As mentioned above, the etching of the polycrystalline is stopped halway, wherefore a gate oxide 2 and a substrate 1 are protected against damage, and as the disused polycrystalline is turned into an insulator through thermal oxidation, a gate electrode is prevented from defective insulation.
