Abstract

Abstract There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of forming a polysilicon film on a semiconductor substrate through an oxidation film, forming a mask of a predetermined pattern on the polysilicon film, forming a molybdenum film on the polysilicon film, and silicifying those regions of said molybdenum film not covered by the mask so that a structure of the uncovered molybdenum film regions and those regions of the polysilicon film located under the uncovered molybdenum regions have low resistance, while a region of the molybdenum film covered by the mask has high resistance.
