Abstract

This disclosure concerns a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes forming a Fin-type body on an insulation layer, the Fin-type body being made of a semiconductor material and having an upper surface covered with a protective film; forming a gate insulation film on side surfaces of the Fin-type body; depositing a gate electrode material so as to cover the Fin-type body; planarizing the gate electrode material; forming a gate electrode by processing the gate electrode material; depositing an interlayer insulation film so as to cover the gate electrode; exposing the upper surface of the gate electrode; depositing a metal layer on the upper surface of the gate electrode; siliciding the gate electrode by reacting the gate electrode with the metal layer; forming a trench on the upper surface of the protective film by removing an unreacted metal in the metal layer; and filling the trench with a conductor.
