Abstract
In the selective etching by RIE, a poly-Si film formed on the gate oxide film is not entirely removed such that the poly-Si film is partly left unremoved. Then, the entire surface is covered with a poly-Si film, followed by applying RIE. The particular technique permits preventing the gate oxide film near a poly-Si gate and the interface between the gate oxide film and the substrate from being damaged. Finally, a chemical dry etching, which does not do damage to the gate insulation film near the poly-Si gate, is applied to remove the poly-Si film.
