Abstract
A method for forming a silicide of a metal with high-melting-point in a semiconductor device includes the step of removing a higher-density impurity area which acts for prevention of refractory-metal-silicification of diffused regions between the steps of implanting impurities to form an impurity-implanted region and annealing for refractory-metal-silicification of the diffused layer. The refractory-metal-silicification of the diffused regions proceeds smoothly to thereby prevent degradation of the initial gate withstand voltage and a higher sheet resistance.
