Abstract

A semiconductor device and manufacturing method capable of forming shallow extension regions in insulated-gate transistors. A side wall material containing about 1 to 20% of phosphorus, such as PSG, is deposited on the sides of an opening to a film thickness of tens of nanometers to about 100 nm and etched back to form phosphorus-containing side walls respectively adjacent to boron-containing side walls. An interlayer insulating film of silicon nitride etc. is then formed on the silicon nitride film. A thermal process performed during formation of the interlayer insulating film forms N-type extension regions in the NMOS region through a diffusion where phosphorus contained in the phosphorus-containing side walls serves as the diffusion source and P-type extension region in the PMOS region through a diffusion where boron contained in the boron-containing side walls serves as the diffusion source.
