ABSTRACT:
Method for forming a silicide film in a semiconductor device, including the steps of forming a silicide suppressing film on a silicon substrate, patterning the silicide suppressing film by chemical dry etching, forming a metal film on an entire surface of the silicon substrate inclusive of the silicide suppressing film pattern, performing a heat treatment to form a silicide film on a portion of the silicon substrate opened from the silicide suppressing film pattern, and removing a portion of the metal film not turned into the silicide, thereby forming the silicide suppressing film pattern accurately and minimizing etch damage caused by plasma, to improve process yield of the semiconductor device, substantially.
