Abstract

Abstract A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed. After an insulating film having an opening is formed on a first thin tungsten film, an impurity is introduced into the substrate through the opening to form a punch-through stopper between a source and a drain. Then, on the first tungsten film inside the opening, a second tungsten film is selectively deposited to form a gate electrode. With this method, it is possible to easily fabricate high-speed MOSFETs whose channel length is less than half a micron.
