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 (9)

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 surface of the gate insulation film in accordance with a formation method that uses an organic material;

forming an insulation film so as to cover at least a part of the gate electrode of the P-type MOS transistor; and

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

2. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising, subsequent to the heating process, a step of stripping the insulation film.

3. The manufacturing method of 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.

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 than5.1 eV.

5. The manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising, subsequent to the process 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.
