Claims
- 1. A CMOS semiconductor device having a dual-gate electrode construction, comprising:
- a p-channel MOS transistor having a p-type gate electrode; and
- an n-channel MOS transistor having an n-type gate electrode formed adjacent to the p-channel MOS transistor,
- the p-type gate electrode and the n-type gate electrode each having a dual-gate electrode construction including
- a lower gate electrode layer with p-type or n-type impurities doped separately for the different channel conductivity type transistor regions and
- an upper common silicide electrode layer, and
- the upper silicide electrode layer being doped with both the same degree of p-type impurities as the concentration of p-type impurities of the lower gate electrode layer and the same degree of n-type impurities as the concentration of n-type impurities of the lower gate electrode layer.
- 2. A CMOS semiconductor device having a dual-gate electrode construction as set forth in claim 1, wherein the silicide electrode layer is formed not only over the gate electrode layer, but also over the source and drain impurity diffusion regions formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate near to the gate electrode layer.
- 3. A CMOS semiconductor device having a dual-gate electrode construction as set forth in claim 1, wherein the silicide electrode layer is comprised of a material selected from the group comprised of tungsten silicide, titanium silicide, cobalt silicide, and nickel silicide.
- 4. A CMOS semiconductor device having a dual-gate electrode construction as set forth in claim 1, wherein the dual-gate electrode construction comprised of the lower gate electrode layer with p-type or n-type impurities doped separately for the different channel conductivity type transistor regions and an upper common silicide layer is formed by self-alignment.
