Abstract
In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, a titanium silicide layer is formed on a region of a diffusion layer formed in a semiconductor substrate. A silicon nitride film functioning as an etching stopper is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The silicon nitride film covers the layer. An interlayered insulating film is formed on the silicon nitride film. A barrier metal of Tin/Ti is formed in a contact hole, which is formed in the interlayered insulating film. The contact holes is opened toward the diffusion layer. A conductive film comprising a Ti—Si—N based alloy is formed between a metal wiring and the diffusion layer. The conductive film is formed by reacting the silicon nitride film with titanium contained in the titanium silicide layer or the barrier metal. With these manufacturing features, the manufacturing process is not increased and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
