To provide a method capable of locally adjusting the thickness of a layer in semiconductor processing, which can improve evenness, reproducibility of the layer, and cost performance.
The method for obtaining layers which have different thickness or height of the layer, and are manufactured using a same device material is disclosed. A specific example of such a process is a CMOS process comprising nMOS and pMOS having a different gate electrode thickness. After forming the device material layer or gate electrode layer 2, disposable parts 4 are formed in selected regions 3 of the device layer 2. Preferably, the disposable parts are formed with doping the selected regions 3 to a required depth d. A film thickness t of the device layer 2 as-deposited is adjusted or modulated after the patterning of respective devices by removing the disposable regions 4.
