PURPOSE: A fabrication method of a semiconductor memory device is provided to simplify manufacturing processes by selectively forming a transition metal silicide layer using a hard density plasma insulating layer. CONSTITUTION: Silicide prevention layers made of a buffer insulating layer(64) and a silicon nitride(66) is deposited on a substrate(50) defined with DRAM cell region(B1) and a logic cell region(B2) respectively having gate electrodes(g), source regions(60a,62a), and drain regions(60b,62b). The first transition metal silicide layers(70a,70b) are selectively formed on the gate electrodes(g), source and drain regions(60a,60b,62a,62b) in the logic cell region(B2). An etch stopper(72) is deposited on the resultant structure and a hard density plasma insulating layer(74) is then formed to fill the gap between the gate electrodes(g). The hard density plasma insulating layer(74), the etch stopper(72) and the silicide prevention layers(64,66) are etched to expose the gate electrodes(g) in the DRAM cell region(B1). Then, the second transition metal silicide layer(78) is formed on the gate electrodes(g) in the exposed DRAM cell region(B1).

After forming and patterning an oxide(180), a contact hole is formed by etching the oxide(180) using a self-aligned method.
