Abstract

A method of forming a self-aligned gate electrode of a field effect transistor, in which a resist pattern is formed on a substrate by lithography, an ion-implanted layer in the substrate at the side of the resist is formed by ion implantation, an insulating film is formed on the substrate by electron cyclotron resonance plasma chemical vapor deposition, the resist pattern and a part of the insulating film on the resist pattern removed by lift-off to thereby form an insulating pattern with an opening, the substrate annealed to activate said ion-implanted layer and a gate electrode formed in the opening by a spacer lift-off method.
