摘要:
Bridging between silicide layers on a gate electrode and source/drain regions along silicon nitride sidewall spacers is prevented by implanting the exposed surfaces of the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with nitrogen to create a surface region having an increased nitrogen concentration. Embodiments include implanting the silicon nitride sidewall spacers with nitrogen such that the nitrogen concentration of the exposed surface is increased by about 5% to about 15%, thereby substantially preventing the formation of metal silicide on the sidewall spacers.
