Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a recess is formed in a semiconductor substrate. A gate insulating film is formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate and a surface of the recess; and a gate electrode film is deposited on the gate insulating film to fill the recess. Then, a gate electrode is formed by etching the gate electrode film by using a predetermined mask, and ion implantation into the semiconductor substrate is carried out to form diffusion layers extending from the recess, before the forming a gate electrode at least.

Claims (10)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a recess in a semiconductor substrate;

forming a gate insulating film on a surface of said semiconductor substrate and a surface of said recess;

depositing a gate electrode film on said gate insulating film to fill said recess;

forming a gate electrode by etching said gate electrode film by using a predetermined mask; and

carrying out ion implantation into said semiconductor substrate to form diffusion layers extending from said recess to form source and drain regions, after said depositing the gate electrode film before said forming the gate electrode.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

flattening said gate electrode film before said ion implantation is carried out after said gate electrode film is deposited.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

adjusting impurity concentration along a surface of said recess.
