Method for fabricating semiconductor device

摘要

After a cobalt film is deposited on a silicon-containing film formed on a semiconductor substrate, a first heat treatment at a relatively low temperature is performed with respect to the semiconductor substrate to cause a reaction between the cobalt film and the silicon layer and thereby form a Co2Si layer or CoSi layer in at least a surface portion of the silicon layer. Then, a silicon-containing film is deposited on the Co2Si layer or CoSi layer and a second heat treatment at a relatively high temperature is performed with respect to the semiconductor substrate to cause a reaction between the silicon-containing film and the Co2Si layer or CoSi layer and thereby form a CoSi2 layer in at least a surface portion of the silicon layer.
