Abstract

Disclosed is a method for fabricating a semiconductor device, especially suitable for a highly-integrated semiconductor device. In the method, a lower tungsten silicide film having an amorphous construction is formed on a poly silicon film on a gate oxide film formed on a semiconductor substrate. On the lower tungsten silicide film, an upper tungsten silicide film having a plurality of small grains between which gaps are defined. Thereafter, oxide films are formed on the crystallized grains by heat treatment under an oxygen atmosphere.
