Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: forming a gate insulating layer upon a single crystal semiconductor substrate; forming a gate electrode made from a polycrystal conductive film upon the gate insulating layer; implanting an impurity into the gate electrode and into a surface layer of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to or separate from the gate electrode; performing a first heat treatment, which performs heat treatment at a temperature that diffuses the impurity implanted mainly in the gate electrode and controls the diffusion of the impurity implanted in the surface layer of the semiconductor substrate; performing a second heat treatment, which performs heat treatment at a higher temperature and for a shorter time than the first heat treatment, and at a temperature that activates the impurity implanted in the semiconductor substrate; and wherein the first heat treatment and the second heat treatment are performed continuously in the same chamber using a single annealing apparatus, and wherein the annealing apparatus comprises:
