Abstract

Openings are formed in a laminate of a polycrystalline silicon film and an LTO film on a channel layer. While the laminate is used as a mask, impurities are implanted into a place in the channel layer which is assigned to a source region. Also, impurities are implanted into another place in the channel layer which is assigned to a portion of a second gate region. A portion of the polycrystalline silicon film which extends from the related opening is thermally oxidated. The LTO film and the oxidated portion of the polycrystalline silicon film are removed. While a remaining portion of the polycrystalline silicon film is used as a mask, impurities are implanted into a place in the channel layer which is assigned to the second gate region. Accordingly, the source region and the second gate region are formed on a self-alignment basis which suppresses a variation in channel length.
