Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a silicon substrate; a P channel type field effect transistor including a first gate insulating film on the substrate, a first gate electrode on the first gate insulating film and a first source/drain region; and an N channel type field effect transistor including a second gate insulating film on the substrate, a second gate electrode on the second gate insulating film and a second source/drain region. The entire first gate electrode is made of a metal silicide, and at least in an upper portion including the upper surface of the second gate electrode, a silicide region of the same kind as the metal (M) is provided. The metal concentration in the silicide region is lower than that in the silicide of the first gate electrode. In an upper portion including the upper surface of the second gate electrode, there is a barrier layer region containing a metal diffusion suppressing element at a concentration higher than that in the lower portion.
