After a cobalt film 12 and a titanium nitride film 13 as a barrier film against oxygen are formed over the surfaces of impurity diffusion layers 9, 10 on a silicon substrate 1, a first heat treatment is performed at a temperature below 400° C., forming a Co2Si film 31. Following this, the titanium nitride film and the unreacted cobalt film are removed, using a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide and then another heat treatment is performed at a temperature in a range of 700~900° C. and thereby forms a CoSi2 film. According to the present invention, the generation of spikes of cobalt silicide which may pierce the diffusion layers is well suppressed and, thus, the leakage current is well-controlled so that good transistor characteristics as well as high reliability are attained.
