Patent attributes
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprises: forming a high dielectric gate insulating film in an nMIS formation region and a pMIS formation region of a semiconductor substrate; forming a first metal film on the high dielectric gate insulating film, the first metal film; removing the first metal film in the nMIS formation region; forming a second metal film on the high dielectric gate insulating film of the nMIS formation region and on the first metal film of the pMIS formation region; and processing the first metal film and the second metal film. The high dielectric gate insulating film has a dielectric constant higher than a dielectric constant of silicon oxide. The first metal film does not contain silicon and germanium. The second metal film contains at least one of silicon and germanium.
