Abstract: An opening extending through a gate insulating layer and a gate conductor layer is formed in the circumferential portion of a Si pillar at an intermediate height of the Si pillar. A laminated structure including two sets each including a Ni film, a poly-Si layer containing donor or acceptor impurity atoms, and a SiO2 layer is formed so as to surround the opening.

The donor or acceptor impurity atoms diffuse from the NiSi layers into the Si pillar to thereby form an N+ region and a P+ region serving as a source or a drain of SGTs.
