Abstract

In a semiconductor substrate on which are formed an N-type MOS transistor and a P-type MOS transistor, the gate electrode of the N-type MOS transistor comprises a tungsten film, which makes contact with a gate insulation film, and the gate electrode of the P-type MOS transistor comprises a tungsten film, which makes contact with a gate insulation film, and the concentration of carbon contained in the former tungsten film is less than the concentration of carbon contained in the latter tungsten film.

Claims (10)

1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device on which are formed an N-type MOS transistor and a P-type MOS transistor, the method comprising the steps of:

forming a gate insulation film on a semiconductor substrate;

forming a conductor film, which contains carbon and constitutes a gate electrode, on the gate insulation film in accordance with a formation method that uses utilizing an organic material;

forming an insulation film, which contains hydrogen, so as to cover at least a part of the gate electrode of the N-type MOS transistor; and

heating the semiconductor substrate on which the insulation film is formed in a non-oxidizing environment and reducing the carbon content of the conductor film of the N-type MOS transistor.

2. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of hydrogen, which the insulation film contains, is not less than 1E21 cm −3 .

3. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor film of the N-type MOS transistor is either a metal material with a work function of not less than 4.8 eV but less than 5.1 eV, or an alloy comprising a plurality of metal materials with a work function of not less than 4.8 eV but less than 5.1 eV, and the conductor film of the P-type MOS transistor has a work function larger than the work function of the conductor film of the N-type MOS transistor.

4. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the conductor film of the N-type MOS transistor is either a metal material with a work function of not less than 4.8 eV but less than 5.1 eV, or an alloy comprising a plurality of metal materials with a work function of not less than 4.8 eV but less than 5.1 eV. and the conductor film of the P-type MOS transistor has a work function lamer than the work function of the conductor film of the N-type MOS transistor.

5. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising, subsequent to the step of forming the conductor film, a process of forming, on the conductor film, a polysilicon film having a metal silicide layer on the surface thereof.

6. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising, prior to the step of forming the gate insulation film, a process of forming an interlayer insulation film having an opening part in the gate electrode formation region on the semiconductor substrate.
