Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gate structure for MOSFETs for application of the CMOS technology, etc., which is durable against high temperature processes such as junction activation, etc., and reduces the gate propagation delay. SOLUTION: The gate structure 10 has an insulation layer 14 on a semiconductor substrate 12, and a polysilicon gate electrode 16 on the insulation layer 14. The gate structure 10 comprises a diffused barrier layer 20 having semi- insulative characteristics on the gate electrode 16, and a gate conductor 18 on the barrier layer 20. The conductor 18 is electrically contacted to the gate electrode 16. The constitution and the thickness of the barrier layer 20 are adjusted so as to effectively block the diffusion and the mixing between the gate conductor 18 and the gate electrode 16, but realize a capacitive coupling and/or a leak current not so increasing the gate propagation delayer of the gate surface 10.
