Method for manufacturing semiconductor device
View Patent ↗In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, gate insulation films and gate electrodes are first formed on a substrate. An impurity is implanted into each gate electrode. Next, a first heat treatment is performed to the substrate for diffusing the impurity in the gate electrodes. After the heat treatment, a second heat treatment is performed for releasing stress generated in the substrate in the first heat-treatment. Thereafter, an impurity is implanted into an area to become an implanted region of the substrate, using the gate electrodes as masks, and a third heat treatment is performed for activating the impurity implanted.
