Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device in which patterning is effected using a silicon oxynitride (SiON) based thin film as an anti-reflection film and in which electrical properties are prohibited from being deteriorated by hydrogen contained in the SiON based thin film. The semiconductor device has a substrate, a gate insulating film formed on the surface of the substrate, a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film, and a first antireflection film having a pattern in common with the gate electrode. The semiconductor device also has a hydrogen permeation prohibiting film formed between the gate insulating film and the first antireflection film. The first antireflection film contains hydrogen and is formed on the gate electrode.
