    • Reliability of a semiconductor element and its product yield are improved by reducing variations in the electrical characteristic of a metal silicide layer. After forming a nickel-platinum alloy film over a semiconductor substrate, by carrying out a first thermal treatment at a thermal treatment temperature of 210 to 310° C. using a heater heating device, the technique causes the nickel-platinum alloy film and silicon to react with each other to form a platinum-added nickel silicide layer in a (PtNi)2Si phase. After removing unreacted nickel-platinum alloy film, the technique carries out a second thermal treatment having the thermal treatment temperature higher than that of the first thermal treatment to form the platinum-added nickel silicide layer in a PtNiSi phase. The temperature rise rate of each thermal treatment is set to 10° C./s or more.

    • To provide a semiconductor device with improved reliability which includes a metal silicide layer formed by a salicide process. After forming gate electrodes, an n+-type semiconductor region, and a p+-type semiconductor region for a source or drain, a Ni1−xPtx alloy film is formed over a semiconductor substrate. The alloy film reacts with the gate electrodes, the n+-type semiconductor region, and the p+-type semiconductor region by a first heat treatment to form a metal silicide layer in a (Ni1−yPty)2Si phase. At this time, the first heat treatment is performed at a heat treatment temperature where a diffusion coefficient of Ni is larger than that of Pt. Further, the first heat treatment is performed such that a reacted part of the alloy film remains at the metal silicide layer. This results in y>x. Then, after removing the unreacted part of the alloy film, the metal silicide layer is further subjected to a second heat treatment to form a metal silicide layer in a Ni1−yPtySi phase.
