Polysilicon semiconductor element having resistivity and work function

Abstract

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor element comprising polycrystal silicon and into which high-concentration donors and high-concentration acceptors have been introduced in substantially the same amounts, and enables control of a work function of a semiconductor element by adjustment of the concentrations of the donor and acceptor. This semiconductor device is manufactured by the formation of a heat oxide film on a semiconductor substrate, the use of a low-pressure CVD method to form a polysilicon thin film to a required thickness, the implantation in the same high-concentrations of the donor and acceptor into the polysilicon thin film, and heat processing in a required atmosphere, for a required time and at a required temperature to diffuse and activate the injected donor and acceptor.
