Abstract

In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a laminated gate electrode, a phosphorus-doped polysilicon is formed on a gate oxide film. A high-melting metal or a compound of a high-melting metal and silicon is formed on the polysilicon. Phosphorus is doped into the polysilicon so that a concentration of the phosphorus in the polysilicon at an interface between the polysilicon and the gate oxide film is 2×1020(1/cm3) or less. Then, thermal oxidation is carried out in a wet-hydrogen atmosphere containing water vapor.
