There is provided a semiconductor device which is capable of solving a problem of threshold control in CMOS transistor, accompanied with combination of a gate insulating film having a high dielectric constant and a metal gate electrode, and significantly enhancing performances without deterioration in reliability of a device. The semiconductor device includes a gate insulating film composed of a material having a high dielectric constant, and a gate electrode. A portion of the gate electrode making contact with the gate insulating film has a composition including silicide of metal M expressed with MxSi1-X (0<X<1), as a primary constituent. X is greater than 0.5 (X>0.5) in a p-type MOSFET, and is equal to or smaller than 0.5 (X<=0.5) in a n-type MOSFET.
