Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a silicon substrate; and a field effect transistor including a gate insulating film over the silicon substrate, a gate electrode on the gate insulating film, and source and drain regions. The gate electrode includes, in part in contact with the gate insulating film, a crystallized Ni silicide region containing an impurity element of a conductivity type opposite to a conductivity type of a channel region in the field effect transistor.
