1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising:
forming an element separation insulating film layer in a semiconductor substrate so as to define a semiconductor layer on the semiconductor substrate;
forming a gate electrode including:
a gate insulating film formed on the semiconductor layer,
a metal or a metallic compound formed on the gate insulating film,
a polycrystalline silicon layer formed on the metal or the metallic compound, and
a metal silicide formed on the polycrystalline silicon layer;
forming a source region and a drain region in the semiconductor layer so as to sandwich the gate electrode therebetween; and
forming a plug that passes through the metal silicide and the polycrystalline silicon layer and that contacts with the metal or the metallic compound of the gate electrode.
