Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a memory device and a logic device on the same semiconductor substrate is provided without reducing reliability of the semiconductor device and making a manufacturing process unnecessarily complicated. A silicon oxide film which serves as a salicide protection film in the logic device formation region is subjected to wet isotropic etching. The process completely removes the silicon oxide film in the memory device formation region. Thus, the silicon oxide film is left only in a prescribed portion in the logic device formation region. As a result, the silicon oxide film is not left on an inner wall of a recess formed by a silicon nitride film between gate electrodes. Consequently, a good self alignment contact opening is formed toward a source/drain region in the memory device formation region.
