Abstract

In this method, metal film to be subject to silicidation includes impurity to have the same conductivity mechanism as an element that is in advance ion-implanted into abase layer, therefore the absorption of impurity into the metal film is difficult to incur during the silicidation reaction. Even after forming the silicide self-aligned, the surface impurity concentration at the gate or diffusion layer can be kept high, thus preventing the device characteristic from deteriorating.
