Abstract

Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a substrate protection film to cover an n-type FET forming region having a first gate electrode and a p-type FET forming region having a second gate electrode; opening the p-type FET forming region by patterning a resist film after the resist film is formed to cover the n-type FET and p-type FET forming regions; exposing the surface of the semiconductor substrate by selectively removing the substrate protection film in the p-type FET forming region, leaving the film only on side walls of the second gate electrode; forming a pair of p-type extension regions at both sides of the second gate electrode, by doping impurities to the semiconductor substrate, with the resist film, the second gate electrode, and the substrate protection film formed on side walls of the second electrode; and removing the resist film formed on the n-type FET forming region.
