Abstract
A gate insulating film having an insulating film that contains at least nitrogen is formed on a substrate, and the gate insulating film is subjected to heat treatment for about 500 milliseconds or less using a flash lamp. Thereafter, a gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film. Specifically, for example, a laminated film of SiOfilm and an SiNfilm, a laminated film of an SiOfilm, HfSiO film, and an SiNfilm, or the like, is formed in forming the gate insulating film.
