Abstract

Claimed and disclosed is a semiconductor device including a transistor having a gate insulating film structure containing nitrogen or fluorine in a compound, such as metal silicate, containing metal, silicon and oxygen, a gate insulating film structure having a laminated structure of an amorphous metal oxide film and metal silicate film, or a gate insulating film structure having a first gate insulating film including an oxide film of a first metal element and a second gate insulating film including a metal silicate film of a second metal element.

Claims (6)

1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device comprising:

forming a silicon oxide film series insulating film on a semiconductor substrate;

forming a first metal film on the silicon oxide film series insulating film;

removing part of the first metal film;

forming a second metal film formed of a metal element different from a metal element constituting the first metal film in an area from which part of the first metal film is removed; and

forming a first insulating film containing silicon, oxygen and the metal element constituting the first metal film by reacting the silicon oxide film series insulating film and the first metal film with each other by the heat treatment and a second insulating film containing silicon, oxygen and the metal element constituting the second metal film by reacting the silicon oxide film series insulating film and the second metal film with each other by the heat treatment.
