Abstract
A gate electrode is formed on a semiconductor substrate containing silicon, then source/drain regions are formed in regions of the semiconductor substrate located to both sides of the gate electrode, and then a nickel alloy silicide layer is formed on at least either the gate electrode or the source/drain regions. In the step of forming the nickel alloy silicide layer, a nickel alloy film and a nickel film are sequentially deposited on the semiconductor substrate and thereafter subjected to heat treatment.
