Abstract

A manufacturing method for a dual-gate CMOS semiconductor device that suppresses mutual diffusion of P type impurities and N type impurities in a gate electrode. An NMOS part and a PMOS part are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A polycrystalline silicon layer is formed on the NMOS part and the PMOS part, and consists of an N type impurity containing polycrystalline silicon layer and a P type impurity containing polycrystalline silicon layer. A first conductive layer is formed on the polycrystalline silicon layer so as to include a groove region, in which the first conductive layer is not formed, on a predetermined region including a boundary between the N type impurity containing polycrystalline silicon layer and the P type impurity containing polycrystalline silicon layer.
