Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device with a reliable tunnel oxide film or a gate insulation film. SOLUTION: After a polycrystalline silicon film 106 that becomes a gate electrode is formed on a gate insulation film (or a tunnel oxide film 104), Ar, Ga, or the like is implanted to the polycrystalline silicon film 106 by the ion implantation method, thus turning the polycrystalline silicon film 106 into an amorphous silicon and hence improving the Qbd characteristics (amount of allowable passage electric charge) and improving the TDDB characteristics for the gate insulation film.
