Contact resistance reduction by integration of molybdenum with titanium

Methods for forming a semiconductor structure and semiconductor structures are described. The method comprises patterning a substrate to form a first opening and a second opening, the substrate comprising an n transistor and a p transistor, the first opening over the n transistor and the second opening over the p transistor. The substrate is pre-cleaned. A molybdenum silicide (MoSi) layer is deposited on one or more of the p transistor and the n transistor. A titanium silicide (TiSi) layer is formed on the n transistor and the p transistor. A capping layer may be formed on the titanium silicide (TiSi) layer. The method may be an integrated method performed in a processing chamber without breaking vacuum.
