Abstract

A semiconductor device includes an electrode having a metal silicide layer and a metal alloy layer, and a data storage element formed on the electrode. The metal silicide layer has a concave surface to correspond to a convex surface of the metal alloy layer such that the concave surface of the metal silicide layer and the convex surface of the metal alloy layer form a curved boundary.
