MECHANICALLY STABLE COBALT CONTACTS

A cobalt contact includes a dual silicide barrier layer. The barrier layer, which may be formed in situ, includes silicides of titanium and cobalt, and provides an effective adhesion layer between the cobalt contact and a conductive device region such as the source/drain junction of a semiconductor...

Zusammenfassung:A cobalt contact includes a dual silicide barrier layer. The barrier layer, which may be formed in situ, includes silicides of titanium and cobalt, and provides an effective adhesion layer between the cobalt contact and a conductive device region such as the source/drain junction of a semiconductor device, eliminating void formation during a metal anneal.
