Abstract

According to one embodiment, the contact electrode extends in the inter-layer insulating layer toward the second semiconductor region. The metal silicide film is in contact with the second semiconductor region and the contact electrode. The metal silicide film includes a first part and a second part. The first part is provided between a bottom of the contact electrode and the second semiconductor region. The second part is provided on a surface of the second semiconductor region between the first part and the gate electrode. A bottom of the second part is located at a position shallower than a bottom the first part.
