Abstract

In a first step, a planar silicon layer is formed on a silicon substrate and first and second pillar-shaped silicon layers are formed on the planar silicon layer; a second step includes forming an oxide film hard mask on the first and second pillar-shaped silicon layers, and forming a second oxide film on the planar silicon layer, the second oxide film being thicker than a gate insulating film; and a third step includes forming the gate insulating film around each of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer and the second pillar-shaped silicon layer, forming a metal film and a polysilicon film around the gate insulating film, the polysilicon film having a thickness that is smaller than one half a distance between the first pillar-shaped silicon layer and the second pillar-shaped silicon layer, forming a third resist for forming a gate line, and performing anisotropic etching to form the gate line.
