TWO-STEP SILICIDE FORMATION

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention comprises a transistor having a source/drain region within a substrate, an extension region within the substrate adjoining the source/drain region and extending toward a gate on the substrate, and a dielectric spacer against the gate wherein the dielectric spacer covers at least part of the extension region. A silicide intermix layer is formed over both the source/drain region and a portion of the extension region. A silicide contact is formed through the silicide intermix layer over the source/drain region.
