Abstract:
Over a semiconductor substrate, a silicon nitride film is formed so as to cover n-channel MISFETs. The silicon nitride film is a laminate film which may be made of first, second, and third silicon nitride films. The total film thickness of the first and second silicon nitride films is smaller than half a spacing between a first sidewall spacer and a second sidewall spacer. After being deposited, the first and second silicon nitride films are subjected to treatments to have increased tensile stresses. The total film thickness of the first, second, and third silicon nitride films is not less than half the spacing between the first and second sidewall spacers. The third silicon nitride film is not subjected to any tensile-stress-increasing treatment, or may be subjected to a lesser amount of such treatment.

Abstract:
To provide a technique capable of improving the reliability of a semiconductor device even if the downsizing thereof is advanced.The technical idea of the present invention lies in the configuration in which in a first to a third silicon nitride film to be formed by lamination, the respective film thicknesses thereof are not constant but become smaller in order from the third silicon nitride film in the upper layer to the first silicon nitride film in the lower layer while the total film thickness thereof is kept constant. Due to this it is possible to improve the embedding characteristic of the third silicon nitride film in the uppermost layer in particular, while ensuring the tensile stress of the first to third silicon nitride films, which makes effective the strained silicon technique.
