Abstract

A formation method of a metallic compound layer includes preparing, in a chamber, a substrate having a surface on which a semiconductor material of silicon, germanium, or silicon germanium is exposed, and forming a metallic compound layer, includes: supplying a raw material gas containing a metal for forming a metallic compound with the semiconductor material to the chamber; heating the substrate to a temperature at which the raw material gas is pyrolyzed; and forming a metallic compound layer by reaction of the metal with the semiconductor material so that no layer of the metal is deposited on the substrate. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device employs this formation method of a metallic compound layer.
