A semiconductor device may include a gate insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, a polysilicon layer doped with impurities on the gate insulating layer, an interface reaction preventing layer on the polysilicon layer, a barrier layer on the interface reaction preventing layer, and a conductive metal layer on the barrier layer. The interface reaction preventing layer may reduce or prevent the occurrence of a chemical interfacial reaction with the barrier layer, and the barrier layer may reduce or prevent the diffusion of impurities doped to the polysilicon layer. The interface reaction preventing layer may include a metal-rich metal silicide having a metal mole fraction greater than a silicon mole fraction, so that the interface reaction preventing layer may reduce or prevent the dissociation of the barrier layer at higher temperatures. Thus, a barrier characteristic of a poly-metal gate electrode may be improved and surface agglomerations may be reduced or prevented.

Provided are a lift pin capable of preventing aluminum from depositing on the lift pin when depositing a metallic layer on a wafer through chemical vapor deposition. a system using the lift pin, and a method of manufacturing the same. The lift pin is made of stainless steel and is oxidized at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time, such that the lift pin is not deposited with aluminum during a CVD process. Since the CVD vacuum processing chamber utilizes the heater and the lift pin which are made of oxidized SUS material, aluminum does not deposit on the heater and the lift. Therefore, when the lift pin is lowered, the lift pin is not lowered by its own weight, thereby preventing a wafer from being broken. Also, the lift pin is prevented from being ruptured by a robot moving in and out of an opening of the CVD vacuum processing chamber.
