Abstract

Abstract A method of forming a semiconductor device. An insulating film is formed on a semiconductor region including an impurity. A first contact hole which reaches the semiconductor region is formed in the insulating film. A monocrystalline semiconductor film is formed on the portion of the semiconductor region which is exposed by the first contact hole, and on the insulating film. A monocrystalline aluminum film is formed on the monocrystalline semiconductor film. The portion of the aluminum film in the first contact hole is removed, thereby forming in the aluminum film a second contact hole, which overlaps the first contact hole. Thereafter, a tungsten film is formed in the second contact hole.
