Manufacture of semiconductor device with salicide electrode

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device with a silicide electrode is provided which can form a good contact even at a scaled-down pattern. The method includes the steps of: forming an insulated gate structure with side wall spacer on a p-type region of a silicon (Si) substrate; implanting arsenic ions in source/drain regions at a dose less than 5×10,cm,; forming a laminated layer of a Co film and a TiN film on the surface of the substrate; heating the substrate to let the Co film react with an underlying Si region for silicidation; and removing the TiN film. Another method includes the steps of: forming a field oxide film on the surface of a silicon (Si) substrate for element isolation; implanting ions in the surface region of the Si substrate defined by the field oxide film to form a conductive silicon region; depositing a Co film on the Si surface extending to the field oxide film; heating the Si substrate under such conditions of a time and a temperature that does not allow CoSi,to be formed, and lets the Co film react with the conductive silicon region for silicidation, thereby forming Co silicide; removing an unreacted Co film; and subjecting the Si substrate to another heat treatment to convert the Co silicide to CoSi,.
