Abstract

There is disclosed a semiconductor device having an MOS gate for reducing variations in threshold voltage (V.sub.th) with time wherein a surface protective film is not formed in a device area including channels but only in a device peripheral area, thereby reducing the amount of hydrogen atoms migrating to a silicon-silicon oxide interface in a cell area and, accordingly, reducing the number of Si--H chemical bonds at the interface.
