Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a semiconductor layer, a gate electrode, a source region, a drain region, an element separation insulating film layer and a wiring. The gate electrode include a laminated structure having a gate insulating film formed on the semiconductor layer, a metal or a metallic compound formed on the gate insulating film and a polycrystalline silicon layer formed on the metal or metallic compound. The source region and drain region are formed on a surface portion of the semiconductor substrate and sandwich the gate electrode therebetween. The element separation insulating film layer surrounds the semiconductor layer. The wiring is in contact with the metal or metallic compound of the gate electrode.
