Semiconductor device having metal silicide layer on source/drain region and gate electrode and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an element-isolating region formed in the semiconductor substrate, a real element region formed in the semiconductor substrate and outside the element-isolating region and having a metal silicide layer formed on the surface thereof, and a dummy element region formed in the semiconductor substrate and outside the element-isolating region and having a metal silicide layer formed on the surface thereof. The ratio of the sum of pattern areas of the real element region and dummy element region occupied in a 1 μm-square range of interest including the element region is 25% or more.
