Method of manufacturing a semiconductor device
 A semiconductor device manufacturing method which involves a fewer number of manufacturing processes and which eliminates the use of expensive high precision stepper and half-tone mask, or the like, by employing a simplified process flow, in which method an identical mask is reused to ensure registration margin without involving a high-resolution process. A contact hole requires solely a minimum diameter of 0.30 .mu.m or thereabouts, thereby resulting in and added margin for the minimum diameter and eliminating a process for reducing a hole diameter. Even if the hole diameter has a deviation of about 0.05 .mu.m, contact can be established with a silicon substrate, thereby eliminating a necessity for an expensive, high precision stepper which has been required for ensuring a registration margin. A damaged layer, which would otherwise cause an increase in the resistance of the storage node direct contact, is eliminated simultaneously with etching of a thick polysilicon film, thus eliminating a chemical dry etching (CDE) process which has conventionally been used for removing a damaged layer.
