Abstract

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes an amorphous semiconductor film forming treatment of supplying a starting material gas containing germanium to a semiconductor substrate, thereby forming an amorphous semiconductor film containing the germanium on the semiconductor substrate. Further, it also provides a semiconductor device of a novel structure manufactured by the manufacturing method.

Claims (6)

1. A method of manufacturing a transistor including:

a laminate film forming treatment of forming on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate a laminate film in which a semiconductor film is interposed between a first oxide film and a second oxide film;

an opening forming treatment of forming an opening reaching the first surface of the semiconductor substrate in the laminate film;

an amorphous semiconductor film forming treatment of supplying a starting material gas containing germanium to the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, thereby forming an amorphous semiconductor film containing the germanium in the opening so as to overlie the exposed portion of the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; and

a crystallizing treatment of crystallizing the amorphous semiconductor film.

2. A method of manufacturing a transistor as defined in claim 1 , wherein a starting material gas containing carbon is supplied, in the amorphous semiconductor film forming treatment, thereby forming an amorphous semiconductor film containing the carbon.
