Abstract
Abstract After formation a gate electrode and source/drain regions, N ions or O ions are implanted into a predetermined region using a resist mask, and a Ti layer is deposited on the entire face of a substrate, and then the Ti layer is silicided in self-alignment by a heat treatment, whereby a high resistivity TixNySiz mixing layer is formed the predetermined region on the gate electrode and the source/drain regions 10, and a low resistivity TiSi 2 layer 12 is formed on another region.
