Abstract
A semiconductor substrate is arranged to have a DRAM area in which to form at a high density gate electrodes of transistors serving as DRAM components, and a peripheral circuit area in which to form at a relatively low density gate electrodes of transistors as peripheral circuit components. A resist film is formed in corresponding relation to the gate electrodes of the DRAM. After an insulating film is etched, a resist film is formed in corresponding relation to the gate electrodes of the peripheral circuits. A conductive layer is then etched while the resist film and insulating film left in the DRAM area are being used as masks, whereby the gate electrodes are formed in the DRAM area and peripheral circuit area.
