Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device comprising a nonvolatile memory cell, comprises the steps of forming a first gate material which comprises a silicon film containing no impurities, whose top surface is covered with an oxidation-resistant mask, and whose width in the gate-length direction is prescribed, on part of the surface of a first gate insulating film, forming a thermal-oxidation insulating film on the surface of an active region of a semiconductor substrate through thermal oxidation, removing an oxidation-resistant mask, forming a second gate material which comprises a silicon film into which impurities are introduced and whose width in the gate-length direction is prescribed, on each surface of the thermal-oxidation insulating film and the first gate material forming a second gate insulating film on the surface of the second gate material, and forming a third gate material on the surface of the second gate insulating film.
