Abstract

Abstract An MIS transistor includes insulating layers formed by the CVD method as gate insulating layers. The gate insulating layers by the CVD method are formed having a uniform film thickness on the channel region surface roughed by etching treatment or the like. The dielectric breakdown strength of the gate insulating layer is thus assured.
