In a miniaturized complete CMOS SRAM of a TFT load type, a field effect thin-film transistor (TFT) can achieve stable reading and writing operation of a memory cell and can reduce power consumption thereof. The field effect thin-film transistor formed on an insulator includes an active layer and a gate electrode. The gate electrode is formed on a channel region of the active layer with a gate insulating film therebetween. The active layer is formed of a channel region and source/drain regions. The channel region is formed of a monocrystal silicon layer and does not includes a grain boundary. The source/drain regions is formed of a polysilicon layer. The channel region has a density of crystal defects of less than 10.sup.9 pieces/cm.sup.2. The thin film transistor shows an ON current of 0.25 .mu.A/.mu.m per channel width of 1 .mu.m and an OFF current of 15 fA/.mu.m. The thin-film transistor can be applied to a p-channel MOS transistor serving as a load transistor in a memory cell of a CMOS type SRAM.

A semiconductor device includes a conductor layer (3, 7) having a silicon crystal, an insulator layer (5, 15) formed on the surface of the conductor layer (3, 7) having a contact hole therethrough to said surface of the conductor layer (3, 7), an interconnecting portion formed at a predetermined location in the insulator layer (5, 15) and having a contact hole (6, 9) the bottom surface of which becomes the surface of the conductor layer (3, 7), a barrier layer (14) formed at the bottom of said contact hole at least on the surface of the conductor layer (3, 7) in the interconnecting portion, and a metal silicide layer (12) formed on the barrier layer (14). This semiconductor device is manufactured by depositing the insulator layer (5, 15) having the contact hole (6, 9) on the conductor layer (3, 7) having the silicon crystal, forming the barrier layer (14) and the polysilicon layer (7, 10) overlapping each other in the contact hole (6, 9) and on the insulator layer (5, 15) and then patterning these overlapping barrier layer (14) and polysilicon layer (7, 10), forming a metal layer (8, 11) thereon to be silicidized, and removing unreacted metal. The semiconductor device thus manufactured prevents a suction of silicon from the conductor layer (3, 7) to the metal silicide layer (12) and hence prevents an increase in resistance value due to a deficiency of silicon produced in the conductor layer (3, 7), thereby minimizing a series resistance of the metal silicide layer (12), a contact portion and the conductor layer (3, 7).
