Abstract: In forming a P.sup.- body diffused layer in a portion on the source side of an N.sup.- drain diffused layer of a DMOSFET, P-type impurity ions are implanted at a large tilt angle to reach a part of a region underlying an N.sup.+ gate electrode by using, as a mask, a resist film having an opening corresponding to a region in which the body diffused layer of the DMOSFET is to be formed and the N.sup.+ gate electrode so as to be activated. Thereafter, an N.sup.+ source diffused layer and an N.sup.+ drain diffused layer are formed in the P.sup.- body diffused layer and in the N.sup.- drain diffused layer, respectively. Since a high-temperature drive-in process need not be performed to introduce the P-type impurity ions into the region underlying the N.sup.+ gate electrode, a reduction or variations in threshold voltage and the degradation of a gate oxide film each caused by the impurity diffused from the N.sup.+ gate electrode can be prevented.

Abstract: An n-type buried layer and an n-type epitaxial layer that becomes a collector layer of a pnp transistor are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A well and the collector layer are formed. Ions of an n-type impurity are implanted through a photoresist mask, to form an intrinsic base layer of the pnp transistor and a PT-VT diffusion layer with punchthrough stopper and threshold control functions of a pMOSFET. Ions of a p-type impurity are implanted through a photoresist mask at a shallow implantation depth than the previous step, to form an intrinsic base layer of an npn transistor and a channel dope layer of the pMOSFET. A buried channel is formed under the gate of the pMOSFET. Therefore pMOSFETs with good characteristics can be obtained. In this way, the present invention achieves bipolar transistors and MOSFETs with good characteristics, without having to increase the number of fabrication steps and the number of photoresist masks.
