A method for forming narrow line width silicide having reduced sheet resistance is disclosed by the present invention. The method includes: firstly, providing a semiconductor substrate, whereon there formed at least a source/drain region and a gate region, as well as a spacer formed on a sidewall of the gate region; then, depositing a titanium metal layer overlying the semiconductor substrate and the resulting structure; next, carrying out rapid thermal processing and RCA cleaning to form a first titanium silicide layer; consequentially, forming a selective polysilicon layer over the first titanium silicide layer; and, depositing a second titanium metal layer over the selective polysilicon layer and overlying the exposed surface of spacer; finally, carrying out rapid thermal processing and RCA cleaning once again to form a second titanium silicide layer. The overall thickness of titanium silicide is depending on the requiring resistance of titanium silicide under a certain line width.
