Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate having a core region and a peripheral region, and prior to forming a metal silicide in the core region, forming a sidewall layer on opposite sides of a gate structure of a core region device. The sidewall layer includes sequentially, from the inside out, a silicon oxide layer, a first silicon nitride layer, a first silicon nitride layer, a second silicon oxide layer, and a second silicon nitride layer, or the sidewall layer includes, from inside out, a first silicon nitride layer and a second silicon nitride layer. The sidewall layer having such structure ensures that the formed metal silicide has a good morphology in the core region to achieve good device performance.
