Abstract

An interlayer insulating film is formed on a gate insulating film and a gate electrode, and the interlayer insulating film is opened forming contact holes. Next, the interlayer insulating film and regions exposed by the contact holes are covered by a titanium nitride film, and the titanium nitride film is etched to remain only at portions of the gate insulating film and the interlayer insulating film exposed in the contact holes. The interlayer insulating film and the regions exposed by the contact holes are covered by a nickel film, and after the nickel film directly contacting the interlayer insulating film is removed, the nickel film is heat treated and a nickel silicide layer is formed.
