Disclosed is a method of fabricating a semiconductor device including forming an insulating film on a silicon substrate; forming a contact hole in the insulating film; depositing a titanium film to be in contact with the silicon substrate in the contact hole; and causing a heat reaction between the titanium film and the silicon substrate such that the titanium film is subjected to silicide reaction with the thickness 4 nm to 48 nm or, more preferably, with the thickness of 8 nm to 34 nm. In the instance where the contact hole is filled with doped polycrystal silicon material, the titanium film is deposited to be in contact with the polycrystal silicon in the contact hole. The silicon substrate/silicon body may have at least a MISFET formed thereon in which case the contact hole is formed to expose an active region of the MISFET, as one example.

Method of fabricating a semiconductor integrated circuit device for connecting semiconductor region and electrical wiring metal via titanium silicide layer

A semiconductor device comprises a silicon substrate, an electrical wiring metal, an insulating film formed on the silicon substrate, a plurality of contact holes formed in the insulating film for connecting the silicon substrate and the electrical wiring metal to each other, and a titanium silicide film formed in the contact holes. The thickness of the titanium silicide film is 10 nm to 120 nm or, preferably, 20 nm to 84 nm. Semiconductor regions and the electrical wiring metal are connected to each other through the titanium silicide film.

Method of making a semiconductor memory circuit device

In a semiconductor memory circuit device wherein each memory cell is constituted by a series circuit of a memory cell selecting MISFET and an information storing capacitor of a stacked structure, there are present in a first region, which is a memory cell array region, a first MISFET having a gate electrode and source and drain regions; first and second capacitor electrodes and a dielectric film extended over a first insulating film and over the gate electrode; a second insulating film disposed on the second capacitor electrode; a third insulating film interposed between the first insulating film and first capacitor electrode; and a first wiring positioned on the second insulating film. In a second region of the device, which is a peripheral circuit region, there are present a second MISFET having a gate electrode and source and drain regions; a first insulating film on the gate electrode; a second insulating film on a third insulating film, the third insulating film being interposed between the first and second insulating films; and a second wiring on the second insulating film. The second wiring is formed by the same level conductor layer as that forming the first wiring. Similarly, the first through third insulating films of the first region are correspondingly associated with the first through third insulating films of the second region, respectively.
