The method of manufacturing the semiconductor device comprises forming a transistor including a gate electrode and a source/drain diffused layer over a semiconductor substrate, forming a nickel platinum film over the semiconductor substrate, covering the gate electrode and the source/drain diffused layer, making a first thermal processing to react the nickel platinum film with the source/drain diffused layer to form a nickel platinum silicide film, and removing an unreacted part of the nickel platinum film using a chemical liquid of 71&#xb0; C. or more containing hydrogen peroxide.

Method of manufacturing semiconductor device

The semiconductor manufacturing method comprises the step of forming a metal alloy film of an alloy of a metal of Ni or others and a noble metal over a semiconductor substrate containing a region where silicon is partially exposed; the step of selectively reacting the silicon in the region and the metal alloy film by thermal processing to form metal silicide film containing the metal of Ni or others and the noble metal on the region; and the step of removing the metal alloy film remaining unreacted by using a solution containing hydrogen peroxide with a transition metal, which has higher ionization tendency than the metal of Ni or others, dissolved in.
