The technology which can improve the performance of a MOS transistor in which all the regions of the gate electrode were silicided is offered. A gate insulating film and a gate electrode of an nMOS transistor are laminated and formed in this order on a semiconductor substrate. A source/drain region of the nMOS transistor is formed in the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate. The source/drain region is silicided after siliciding all the regions of the gate electrode. Thus, silicide does not cohere in the source/drain region by the heat treatment at the silicidation of the gate electrode by siliciding the source/drain region after the silicidation of the gate electrode. Therefore, the electric resistance of the source/drain region is reduced and junction leak can be reduced. As a result, the performance of the nMOS transistor improves.
