ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device with a contact structure includes a silicon substrate, a diffusion region formed in a surface of the silicon substrate, a silicide film of a high melting point metal deposited on the diffusion region, an insulating film formed on the silicon substrate, a contact hole formed in the insulating film such that the silicide film is exposed at a bottom of the contact hole, an anti-diffusion film formed on at least the exposed surface of the silicide film at the bottom of the contact film, a plug formed in the contact hole by selective Al--CVD, and a metal wiring formed on the insulating film. The metal wiring is electrically connected to the diffusion region by the plug, the anti-diffusion film and the silicide film. The anti-diffusion film is formed by nitriding the surface of the silicide film such that only the grain boundaries of the grains of the silicide film are nitrided.
