Abstract

There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a transistor in a semiconductor device. The present invention forms a Ta film or a TaNx film at a low temperature or forms a first TaNx film in which the composition(x) of nitrogen is 0.45˜0.55, on a gate insulating film in a NMOS region, so that the work function becomes 4.0˜4.4 eV, and also forms a Ta film or a TaNx film at a high temperature or forms a second TaNx film in which the composition(x) of nitrogen is 0.6˜1.4 is formed, on a gate insulating film in a PMOS region, so that the work function becomes 4.8˜5.2 eV. Thus, the present invention can lower the threshold voltage by implementing a surface channel CMOS device both in the NMOS region and the PMOS region.
