A method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory integrated circuit intended to improve properties and reliability of its peripheral circuit includes the step of forming a tunnel oxide film ( 21 a) in the cell array region, gate oxide film ( 21 b) for a high-voltage circuit and gate oxide film ( 21 c) for a low-voltage circuit both in the peripheral circuit to respectively optimum values of thickness, and covering them with a first-layer polycrystalline silicon film ( 22 ). After that, device isolation grooves ( 13 ) are formed and buried with a device isolation insulating film ( 14 ). The first-layer polycrystalline silicon film ( 24 ) is a non-doped film, and after device isolation, a second-layer polycrystalline silicon film ( 24 ) is doped with phosphorus in the cell array region to form floating gates made of the first-layer polycrystalline silicon film ( 22 ) and the second-layer polycrystalline silicon film ( 24 ). In the peripheral circuit, gate electrodes are made of a multi-layered film including the first-layer polycrystalline silicon, film ( 22 ), second-layer polycrystalline silicon film ( 24 ) and third-layer polycrystalline silicon film 28 , and impurities are ion implanted thereafter to respective transistor regions under respectively optimum conditions. |
