Abstract

Desired operating characteristics are obtained from an MISFET in which a p-type silicon gate electrode is used by preventing the leakage of boron into the channel region in the following way. N-type amorphous silicon 9n is formed by ion-implanting phosphorus into an amorphous silicon. Next, boron is ion-implanted in n-type amorphous silicon 9n to convert it into p-type amorphous silicon 9p. Amorphous silicon 9p is then crystallized. Finally, the gate electrode of the MISFET is constructed of the p-type polycrystalline silicon, which has been obtained in the above steps, and in which phosphorus and boron have been implanted.
