Abstract

A sacrifice oxide film is formed in a Fin semiconductor substrate portion, and impurities are then implanted in the semiconductor substrate through a mask pattern as a mask. Thereafter, the sacrifice oxide film is removed to expose the semiconductor substrate. A gate insulating film is then formed on the exposed semiconductor substrate.
