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.

An N-type source region and an N-type drain region of N-channel type MISFETs are implanted with ions (containing at least one of F, Si, C, Ge, Ne, Ar and Kr) with P-channel type MISFETs being covered by a mask layer. Then, each gate electrode, source region and drain region of the N- and P-channel type MISFETs are subjected to silicidation (containing at least one of Ni, Ti, Co, Pd, Pt and Er). This can suppress a drain-to-body off-leakage current (substrate leakage current) in the N-channel type MISFETs without degrading the drain-to-body off-leakage current in the P-channel type MISFETs.

A semiconductor device capable of improving pressure-resistant and leakage-resistant characteristics of a stacked type capacitor formed on a planarized insulating layer. The semiconductor device includes a plug electrode layer 313 of at least one material selected from the group consisting of TiN, Ti, W, and WN, buried in a contact hole 311a of an interlayer insulating films 311 and extending on and along the upper surface of interlayer insulating film 311. As a result, creation of a stepped portion on platinum layer 314 constituting a capacitor lower electrode to be formed on the plug electrode 313 is prevented, and the thickness of a PZT film 315 to be formed on platinum layer 314 is not disadvantageously made thin at the stepped portion. Therefore, the space between a capacitor upper electrode 316 and platinum layer 314 constituting the capacitor lower electrode can not be made narrow, and an electric field between platinum layer 314 and capacitor upper electrode 316 is made uniform, enhancing pressure-resistant and leakage-resistant characteristics. Also, a silicification reaction of platinum layer 314 is prevented due to plug electrode layer 313. In addition, when plug electrode layer 313 is formed of Ti or TiN, adhesion of plug electrode layer 313 and interlayer insulating film 311 is improved, and thus separation of platinum layer 314 is prevented.

An element isolation region is formed in a semiconductor substrate by the STI method, a gate insulating film is formed, a gate electrode is formed, n+ type semiconductor region and p+ type semiconductor region for source/drains are formed, a metallic film is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a barrier film is formed on a metallic film. And after forming the metal silicide layer to which a metallic film, and a gate electrode, n+ type semiconductor region and p+ type semiconductor region are made to react by performing first heat treatment, a barrier film, and an unreacted metallic film are removed, and the metal silicide layer is left. An element isolation region makes compressive stress act on a semiconductor substrate. A barrier film is a film which makes a semiconductor substrate generate tensile stress, and the metal silicide layer which consists of mono-silicide MSi of metallic element M which forms a metallic film is formed in the first heat treatment.

In a CMIS device, to improve the operating characteristics of an n-channel electric field transistor that is formed by using a strained silicon technique, without degrading the operating characteristics of a p-channel field effect transistor. After forming a source/drain (an n-type extension region and an n-type diffusion region) of an nMIS and a source/drain (a p-type extension region and a p-type diffusion region) of a pMIS, the each source/drain having a desired concentration profile and resistance, a Si:C layer having a desired amount of strain is formed in the n-type diffusion region, and thus the optimum parasitic resistance and the optimum amount of strain in the Si:C layer are obtained in the source/drain of the nMIS. Moreover, by performing a heat treatment in forming the Si:C layer in a short time equal to or shorter than 1 millisecond, a change in the concentration profile of the respective p-type impurities of the already-formed p-type extension region and p-type diffusion region is suppressed.
