1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a P-channel MIS transistor which includes an N-type semiconductor layer, a first gate insulating layer formed on the N-type semiconductor layer, and a first gate electrode formed on the first gate insulating layer and in which the first gate electrode includes a carbon compound layer adjacent to the first gate insulating layer; and
an N-channel MIS transistor which includes a P-type semiconductor layer, a second gate insulating layer formed on the P-type semiconductor layer, and a second gate electrode formed on the second gate insulating layer,
wherein the carbon compound layer is comprised of one of Ta carbide and W carbide, and the first and second gate electrodes contain the same metal.
