  • Publication number: 20040106282
    Abstract: A method for forming silicide at source and drain. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate having an active region and peripheral region, wherein gates with source and drain on two sides are formed in the peripheral region, conformally forming a barrier layer to cover the active region and the peripheral region, forming a mask layer to cover the barrier layer at the active region, removing the barrier layer from the peripheral region; removing the mask layer, forming a metal layer to cover the peripheral region, and subjecting the metal layer to thermal process such that silicon reacts with the metal to form silicide at the source and the drain.

  • Publication number: 20040058519
    Abstract: A method for forming a bit line contact, which electrically couples to a contact region of a substrate, is provided. The method includes the step of forming an opening in the substrate to expose the contact region. A polysilicon layer is formed in a portion of the opening to electrically couple to the contact region. Then, ions are implanted into the polysilicon layer to transform an upper portion of the polysilicon layer to an amorphous layer. Next, a conductive layer is formed on the amorphous layer.
