Abstract
A method for manufacturing a MOSIC includes a step of forming a protective film of silicon nitride, which covers the top and side walls of a gate electrode structure including a doped polysilicon, a step of forming an interlayer insulating film and a step of forming a contact pattern in the interlayer insulating film immediately adjacent to a portion of the protective film in a self-aligned fashion with respect to the gate electrode structure. The presence of the protective film which covers the top and side walls of the doped polysilicon, which defines a gate electrode of a MOSFET, allows forming a pair of associated contact holes for drain and source regions in a self-aligned fashion, which contributes for higher integration.
