Abstract
Ions of arsenic are selectively implanted at a high concentration into a substrate through a first passivation film of silicon dioxide to obtain a shallow junction, thereby forming a source region with a low resistivity and a first drain region. Then, after the first passivation film is removed, a second passivation film of silicon dioxide is deposited over the substrate as well as over a stacked cell electrode by a CVD process performed at a relatively low temperature. Thereafter, the substrate is annealed in a nitrogen ambient at such a temperature as activating the dopant introduced. In this manner, the dopant in source region and first drain region is activated.
