Methods and apparatus are provided for forming a metal or metal silicide barrier layer. In one aspect, a method is provided for processing a substrate including positioning a substrate having a silicon material disposed thereon in a substrate processing system, depositing a first metal layer on the substrate surface in a first processing chamber, forming a metal silicide layer by reacting the silicon material and the first metal layer, and depositing a second metal layer in situ on the substrate in a second processing chamber. In another aspect, the method is performed in an apparatus including a load lock chamber, the intermediate substrate transfer region including a first substrate transfer chamber and a second substrate transfer chamber, a physical vapor deposition processing chamber coupled to the first substrate transfer chamber, and a chemical vapor deposition chamber coupled to the second substrate transfer chamber.
