Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor apparatus manufacturing method which is characterized in that the process of distributing an impurity in the gate electrode of the semiconductor apparatus is improved by the steps of depositing a gate oxide layer on a silicon substrate, mounting a polycrystalline silicon layer on said gate oxide layer, introducing boron as a first impurity in the surface of said polycrystalline silicon layer by the vapor phase diffusion process, solid phase diffusion process or ion implantation, ion-implanting arsenic or silicon, boron difluoride as a second impurity having a greater mass than the first impurity, and ensuring the uniform redistribution of the first impurity in the polycrystalline silicon layer by annealing or a Lamp Anneal process which is carried out at a low temperature and for a short time.
