Abstract

Abstract A poly-Si film is formed on a first insulating film overlying a semiconductor substrate. A second insulating film is formed on the poly-Si film. The poly-Si film comprises a layered structure of a non-single crystal type silicon film and contains a phosphorus concentration of less than 5×10 20 cm -3 or contains no phosphor, a poly-Si film having a phosphorus concentration of over 5×10 20 cm -3 and a poly-Si film having a phosphorus concentration of less than 5×10 20 cm -3 or containing no phosphorus. Since the phosphorus concentrations of the non-single crystal type silicon film adjacent to the first insulating film and poly-Si film adjacent to the second insulating film are reduced, the phosphorus in these two films are not diffused toward the corresponding insulating films. It is thus possible to improve the breakdown voltage across the first and second insulating films.
