ABSTRACT:
Junction leakage in a medium voltage MOS transistor having a silicide structure is prevented. A titanium layer is formed by sputtering titanium over the entire surface of a semiconductor substrate. A gate electrode makes contact with the titanium layer through an opening and P+-type diffusion layers make contact with the titanium layer through openings. In subsequent heat treatment, portions of the titanium layer contacting the gate electrode or each of the P+-type diffusion layers are changed into silicide, forming titanium silicide layers on the gate electrode and the P+-type diffusion layers. Then the rest of the titanium layer, which is on the silicide block layer and not changed into silicide, is removed by wet-etching.
