Abstract

A silicon film is formed on a first region and a second region, respectively of a semiconductor substrate; P-type impurities are selectively ion-implanted into the silicon film in the first region; a first annealing is carried out, thereby the P-type impurities implanted in the silicon film are activated; N-type impurities are selectively ion-implanted into the silicon film in the second region, after the first annealing; a silicide film is formed on the silicon film according to a CVD method, after the ion-implantation of the N-type impurities; a second annealing is carried out, thereby gas contained in the silicide film is discharged and the N-type impurities are activated; a barrier metal film and a metal film are formed in this order on the silicide film; and the metal film, the barrier metal film, the silicide film and the silicon film are patterned, thereby a P-type polymetal gate electrode formed in the first region and an N-type polymetal gate electrode formed in the second region.
