Abstract

In a manufacturing method of sequentially forming a gate electrode film of the MOSFET, forming a gate electrode film of the non-volatile memory FET, patterning the gate electrode of the non-volatile memory FET, and patterning the gate electrode of the MOSFET, in order to form the MOSFET and the non-volatile memory FET on the same semiconductor substrate. The value of the product of S/L and H/L is specified in a case that the line of the gate electrode of the non-volatile memory FET is set to L, the space thereof is set to S, and the height thereof is set to H so that the thickness of a resist film on the gate electrode of the non-volatile memory FET which is formed in advance is set to a thickness which is not lost by etching for forming the gate electrode of the MOSFET.
