ABSTRACT:
In order to retrain from rising a temperature of a phase transition for a silicide of refractory metal, such as Ti, Co, Pt, Ni, Mo, W, Ta, or the like, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device has a process of forming a low electric resistance layer on a surface of a silicon. The process comprises a step of forming, on the surface of the silicon, a layer of silicide of refractory metal with phase transition nuclei therein. The process further comprises a step of subjecting the silicide to phase transition by a phase transition heat treatment at a predetermined transition temperature to convert the silicide layer into a crystalline phase which has low electric resistance. Thereby the low electric resistance layer is formed. Preferably, the silicide of refractory metal with phase transition nuclei is amorphous or the silicide of refractory metal with phase transition nuclei is crystalline but has damages.
