PURPOSE: To form conductive layer with metals with higher melting point, smaller resistance and more excellent thermal properties, and to prevent stress on a substrate resulting from employment of such materials.
CONSTITUTION: When a gate electrode of an FET is made in a twofold structure of Mo and W, the possible stress on an Si substrate can be offset. If it is made in a single-fold Mo, tension stress occurs on the substrate. If it is made in a single-fold W, compression stress occurs. Therefore if made in the twofold structure of Mo and W the stresses offset each offer, and the possible deterioration in electrical properties to be caused by interface problems etc. and exfoliation can be prevented and a device with excellent resistance and thermal properties can be obtained. Order of stacking does not matter and employment of Mo-W alloy is equally effective.
