Abstract
In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, an insulating film is formed on an entire surface of a substrate having a device isolation region and a first and a second conductive region. Then, a semiconductor device structure having a gate electrode forming region is formed on each of the conductive regions, the insulating film being disposed between the gate electrode forming region and each of the conductive regions. A gate electrode groove is formed in the gate electrode forming region of the semiconductor device structure, the insulating film being removed in the gate electrode groove. Thereafter, a gate insulating film and a film of metal gate electrode material are deposited on a bottom surface and a side surface of the gate electrode groove and an alloy is formed by alloying the film of metal gate electrode material deposited in a gate electrode groove of the first conductive region.
