Method and apparatus for fabricating semiconductor device

摘要

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a semiconductor region of a first conductive type on a semiconductor wafer; forming a gate electrode on the semiconductor region; on the semiconductor region, forming a first insulating film over the whole surface including the upper surface of the gate electrode; by removing the formed first insulating film through etching from the top surface side; forming first sidewalls, covering the side surfaces of the gate electrode, from the first insulating film; and by implanting first impurity ions of a second conductive type to the semiconductor region by using an ion implantation device capable of processing a plurality of semiconductor wafers collectively, forming first impurity diffusion regions on both sides of the gate electrode in the semiconductor region; In the step of forming the first impurity diffusion regions, implantation of the first impurity ions are dividedly performed a plurality of times, and the semiconductor wafer is rotated in its wafer surface for each ion implantation.
