Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a gate electrode structure, comprising: forming an insulating film on a surface of a semiconductor substrate; forming an impurity diffused polysilicon film on the insulating film; forming an impurity diffusion preventing film on the impurity diffused polysilicon film; forming a refractory metal silicide film on the impurity diffusion preventing film; forming a first nitride film on the refractory metal silicide film; patterning the first nitride film, the refractory metal silicide film and the impurity diffusion preventing film on a first gate electrode; forming a first spacer constituted by a second nitride film on side surfaces of the first gate electrode; performing anisotropic etching on the impurity diffused polysilicon film with the first nitride film and the second nitride film as a mask; and performing an oxidation process.
