Abstract

Abstract A MOS type semiconductor device and a method for the manufacture of the same are disclosed in which a gate electrode is so formed over a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type with a gate insulating film formed therebetween as to provide a three-layered structure composed of a first high melting point metal silicide layer formed on the gate insulating film, high melting point metal layer formed on the first high melting point metal silicide and a second high melting point metal silicide layer formed on the high melting point metal layer. In the gate electrode, a length of the first high melting point silicide layer defined in the same direction as that in which a channel region extends is made smaller in length than the high melting point metal layer.
