A structure of a BiCMOS transistor hindering over-etching of source/drain regions of a MOS transistor and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. A polysilicon film that is to be a gate electrode lower layer of a MOS transistor is formed, and thereon, another polysilicon film that is to be a gate electrode upper layer of the MOS transistor as well as to be a base electrode of a bipolar transistor is formed. Thereafter, etching is conducted to form the polysilicon film to be the base electrode of the bipolar transistor and the gate electrode at the same time. Here, an oxide film shown in FIG. 4 serves as a protective film, thereby hindering over-etching of n type and p type wells to be active regions of respective MOS transistors.

Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device containing a BiCMOS circuit

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device can suppress an etching damage to a bipolar transistor part and a CMOS transistor part while simplifying a manufacturing process. According to this manufacturing method, an external base leader electrode layer which will form an external base leader electrode is used as an etching protection film for forming a CMOS transistor, and a layered film including a polycrystalline silicon film which will ultimately form a gate electrode is used as an etching protection film during formation of a bipolar transistor. Thereby, a step of forming the etching protection film can be utilized also as a step of forming the external base electrode and the gate electrode. Consequently, the etching damages to the bipolar transistor part and the CMOS transistor part are suppressed while simplifying the manufacturing process.
