PURPOSE: To make the quality of an insulation film changeable by forming a silicon nitride film on a gate insulation film on a silicon substrate and then heat treating at specified temp.
CONSTITUTION: A p-type well 12 is formed on an n-type Si substrate 11 and then a LOCOS 13 is formed. B ions are injected into the substrate 11 to form a channel dopant P- injection layer 14. A silicon nitride film is deposition-formed on a gate oxide film 15 formed on the film 14 and reoxidized to form an oxide film-nitride film 16. Poly-Si is deposited on the gate insulation film, poly-Si electrode 17 is formed, and As or P ions are implanted into the substrate 11 to form a source-drain n+ injection layer 18. This layer 18 is activated to form an n-type transistor. Then it is heat-treated below 700°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Thus the quality of the gate insulation film is changed to make Vt changeable.
