There is provided a semiconductor device having a metal silicide layer which can suppress the malfunction and the increase in power consumption of the device. The semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate containing silicon and having a main surface, first and second impurity diffusion layers formed in the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, a metal silicide formed over the second impurity diffusion layer, and a silicon nitride film and a first interlayer insulation film sequentially stacked over the metal silicide. In the semiconductor device, a contact hole penetrating through the silicon nitride film and the first interlayer insulation film, and reaching the surface of the metal silicide is formed. The thickness of a portion of the metal silicide situated immediately under the contact hole is smaller than the thickness of a portion of the metal silicide situated around the contact hole.

To improve the performance of semiconductor devices. Over an n+-type semiconductor region for source/drain of an n-channel type MISFET and a first gate electrode, and over a p+-type semiconductor region for source/drain of a p-channel type MISFET and a second gate electrode, which are formed over a semiconductor substrate, a metal silicide layer including nickel platinum silicide is formed by a salicide process. After that, a tensile stress film is formed over the whole face of the semiconductor substrate, and then the tensile stress film over the p-channel type MISFET is removed by dry-etching, and, after a compression stress film is formed over the whole face of the semiconductor substrate, the compression stress film over the n-channel type MISFET is removed by dry-etching. The Pt concentration in the metal silicide layer is highest at the surface, and becomes lower as the depth from the surface increases.

The present invention can prevent occurrence of an off-leak current in the NMISFETs formed over the Si (110) substrate and having a silicided source/drain region. The semiconductor device includes N channel MISFETs (Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors) which are formed over a semiconductor substrate having a main surface with a (110) plane orientation and have a source region and a drain region at least one of which has thereover nickel silicide or a nickel alloy silicide. Of these NMISFETs, those having a channel width less than 400 nm are laid out so that their channel length direction is parallel to a crystal orientation.

Gate electrodes made of polysilicon film are isolated and face each other by way of a side wall spacer portion that fills a gap formed above an isolation insulating film at the boundary of NMIS region and PMIS region. A first metal film is formed on one of the gate electrodes, and an inhomogeneous second metal film is formed on the other of the gate electrodes. The both gate electrodes become inhomogeneous metal silicide gates through the promotion of silicide reaction by heat treatment. The mutual diffusion of metal atoms from the metal film to the gate electrode is suppressed by the interposition of the side wall spacer portion being an insulating film.

A first interlayer insulating film having a second contact hole is formed on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate 1 in a peripheral circuitry. A second plug electrode of the same material as a first plug electrode in a memory cell array is formed in the second contact hole. A pad layer is formed over the second plug electrode and a top surface of the first interlayer insulating film. The pad layer and a capacitor lower electrode are made of the same material. The pad layer is covered with the second interlayer insulating film. A third contact hole is formed at a portion of the second interlayer insulating film located above the pad layer. A first aluminum interconnection layer is formed in the third contact hole. Thereby, a contact can be formed easily between the interconnection layer and the main surface of the semiconductor substrate in the peripheral circuitry of a DRAM, and a manufacturing process can be simplified.

In an electronic device using lead zirconate titanate (PZT) or lanthanum lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) as the main insulating material, a PZT film or a PLZT film is formed on a sub-insulating layer consisting essentially of lead titanate, lanthanum lead titanate, barium titanate, strontium titanate, barium strontium titanate, lead zirconate, or lanthanum lead zirconate. In an MIS structure, a semiconductor, the sub-insulating layer, the PZT film and metal are deposited in order. In a capacitor, the sub-insulating layer and the PZT film are sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. The sub-insulating layer improves crystallinity of PZT or PLZT, and the dielectric constant. An oxide of Pb, La, Zr or Ti can be added as the sub-insulating layer in order to further suppress current leakage.
