  • Publication number: 20180138285
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods of forming an integrated circuit (IC) structure with a silicide region. Methods according to the present disclosure can include providing a structure including: a semiconductor region positioned on an electrostatic chuck, and a precursor metal positioned on and in contact with the semiconductor region; heating the semiconductor region of the structure to an annealing temperature by increasing a temperature of the electrostatic chuck; irradiating the structure with a radiant heat source, such that at least some of the precursor metal migrates into a portion of the semiconductor region to form a silicide region during the irradiating; and removing a remainder of the precursor metal from the structure to expose the silicide region, after the irradiating.
