Abstract

A method being capable of achieving the reduction in contact resistance between each layer when bringing a silicide layer into contact with a polycrystalline-silicon (polysilicon) layer in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. The method comprises the steps of forming a polysilicon layer and a silicide layer thereon over a partial top surface of a semiconductor substrate, forming an insulating layer over said silicide layer and the entire top surface of the substrate, forming a contact window by etching the partial area of the insulating layer over said silicide layer, and forming a polysilicon layer over the entire top surface of the substrate after performing ion-implantation through said contact window, wherein said ion-implantation is performed with N-type high doping into the silicide.
