ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes a gate insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating film. Nitrogen is introduced into the gate insulating film, and the nitrogen concentration distribution thereof has a peak near the surface of the gate insulating film or near the center of the gate insulating film in the thickness direction. The peak value of nitrogen concentration in the gate insulating film is equal to or greater than 10 atm % and less than or equal to 40 atm %.
