Disclosed is an oxide semiconductor layer (13) which forms a channel for a thin-film transistor and which includes at least In and oxygen and one or more types of elements from among Zn, Cd, Al, Ga, Si, Sn, Ce, and Ge. A high concentration region (13d) is disposed on one section of the oxide semiconductor layer (13), whereby said region has a maximum In concentration 30 at %; or higher than other regions on the oxide semiconductor layer (13). The film thickness of the oxide semiconductor layer (13) is 100 nm max., and the film thickness of the high concentration region (13d) is 20 nm max. or, preferably, 6 nm max. This enables a thin-film transistor with a sub-threshold slope of 100 mV/decade max., a high on-current, and a high field effect mobility to be achieved.

摘要:
Disclosed is a technique for reducing the leak current by reducing contamination of metal composing a polymetal gate of a MISFET: Of a polycrystalline silicon film, a WN film, a W film, and a cap insulating film formed on a gate insulating film on a p-type well (semiconductor substrate), the cap insulating film, the W film, and the WN film are etched and the over-etching of the polycrystalline silicon film below them is performed. Then, a sidewall film is formed on sidewalls of these films. Thereafter, after etching the polycrystalline silicon film with using the sidewall film as a mask, a thermal treatment is performed in an oxidation atmosphere, by which a light oxide film is formed on the sidewall of the polycrystalline silicon film. As a result, the contamination on the gate insulating film due to the W and the W oxide can be reduced, and also, the diffusion of these materials into the semiconductor substrate (p-type well) and the resultant increase of the leak current can be prevented.
