Abstract
A semiconductor device manufacturing method has forming a metal film containing platinum by depositing a metal on a source/drain diffusion layer primarily made of silicon formed on a semiconductor substrate and on a device isolation insulating film; forming a silicide film by silicidation of an upper part of the source/drain diffusion layer by causing a reaction between silicon in the source/drain diffusion layer and the metal on the source/drain diffusion layer by a first heating processing; forming a metal oxide film by a oxidation processing to oxidize selectively at least a surface of the metal film on the device isolation insulating film; increasing the concentration of silicon in the silicide film by a second heating processing; and selectively removing the metal oxide film and an unreacted part of the metal film on the device isolation insulating film.
