Abstract

A gate electrode includes a polycrystalline silicon layer, a barrier layer and a metal layer. The metal layer and barrier layer includes for example W and RuO.sub.2 layers, respectively. In forming the gate electrode, the metal layer and barrier layer are etched using at least one of the barrier layer and polycrystalline silicon layer as an etching stopper.
