Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a p-channel MIS transistor including: a first insulating layer formed on a semiconductor region between a source region and a drain region, and containing at least silicon and oxygen; a second insulating layer formed on the first insulating layer, and containing hafnium, silicon, oxygen, and nitrogen, and a first gate electrode formed on the second insulating layer. The first and second insulating layers have a first and second region respectively. The first and second regions are in a 0.3 nm range in the film thickness direction from an interface between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer. Each of the first and second regions include aluminum atoms with a concentration of 1×1020 cm−3 or more to 1×1022 cm−3 or less.
