Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first forming a silicon layer on a substrate and then forming a metal silicon nitride layer on the silicon layer, in which the metal silicon nitride layer includes a bottom portion, a middle portion, and a top portion and a concentration of silicon in the top portion is greater than a concentration of silicon in the middle portion. Next, a conductive layer is formed on the metal silicon nitride layer and the conductive layer, the metal silicon nitride layer, and the silicon layer are patterned to form a gate structure.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a cobalt silicide layer includes providing a substrate disposed in a chamber. A deposition process is performed to form a cobalt layer covering the substrate. The deposition process is performed when the temperature of the substrate is between 50° C. and 100° C., and the temperature of the chamber is between 300° C. and 350° C. After the deposition process, an annealing process is performed to transform the cobalt layer into a cobalt silicide layer. The annealing process is performed when the substrate is between 300° C. and 350° C., and the duration of the annealing process is between 50 seconds and 60 seconds.

Abstract: A semiconductor process is described. A silicon-phosphorus (SiP) epitaxial layer is formed serving as a source/drain (S/D) region. A crystalline metal silicide layer is formed directly on the SiP epitaxial layer and thus prevents oxidation of the SiP epitaxial layer. A contact plug is formed over the crystalline metal silicide layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor process for forming a plug includes the following steps. A dielectric layer having a recess is formed on a substrate. A titanium layer is formed to conformally cover the recess. A first titanium nitride layer is formed to conformally cover the titanium layer, thereby the first titanium nitride layer having first sidewall parts. The first sidewall parts of the first titanium nitride layer are pulled back, thereby second sidewall parts being formed. A second titanium nitride layer is formed to cover the recess. Moreover, a semiconductor structure formed by said semiconductor process is also provided.
