Abstract

When a semiconductor is manufactured by a resist mask process while using photolithography techniques, the gate wiring width is increased without increasing the cell area by providing a sidewall on the gate mask and using the sidewall as a mask. The sidewall is produced by applying a CVD oxide film to the mask and removing the oxide film by anisotropic etching. This provides a minimum gate line width of 0.7.mu. and a minimum space width of 0.3.mu..
