摘要
<p>Gate structure of a semiconductor memory device comprises a gate insulation layer (31) formed on a silicon substrate (30); a gate electrode (35) on the gate insulation layer, formed by stacking a polysilicon layer (32) and a metal layer (33); and a hard mask (34) formed on the gate electrode. The hysteresis area between the hard mask and the gate electrode layers is a size ~/ 2x10 120>C dyne/cm 2>. The hard mask includes a material selected from PESiN, PETEOS and PESiN/PETEOS.</p>
