ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate divided into a first region and a second region; a first MIS transistor formed in the first region of the semiconductor substrate and including a stack of a first gate insulating film and a fully-silicided first gate electrode; and a second MIS transistor formed in the second region of the semiconductor substrate and including a stack of a second gate insulating film and a fully-silicided second gate electrode. The second gate electrode has a gate length larger than that of the first gate electrode. A middle portion in the gate length direction of the second gate electrode has a thickness smaller than the thickness of the first gate electrode.
