    摘要: A selective spacer to prevent metal oxide formation during polycide reoxidation of a feature such as an electrode and a method for forming the selective spacer are disclosed. A material such as a thin silicon nitride or an amorphous silicon film is selectively deposited on the electrode by limiting deposition time to a period less than an incubation time for the material on silicon dioxide near the electrode. The spacer is deposited only on the electrode and not on surrounding silicon dioxide. The spacer serves as a barrier for the electrode during subsequent oxidation to prevent metal oxide formation while allowing oxidation to take place over the silicon dioxide.

    摘要: A method of forming a polycide structure in accordance with the present invention includes forming a polysilicon layer on a surface. A refractory metal silicide portion of the polycide structure is formed on the polysilicon layer and the polysilicon portion of the polycide line is formed after formation of the metal silicide portion. The formation of the metal silicide portion of the polycide structure may include forming an oxide hard mask over the polysilicon layer exposing line portions of the polysilicon layer. The exposed line portions of the polysilicon layer are silicided resulting in a refractory metal silicide portion and unreacted material over the oxide hard mask. The unreacted material and oxide hard mask are then removed. The refractory metal silicide portion may be formed by forming a refractory metal or metal silicide layer, such as cobalt or cobalt silicide, over the oxide hard mask and exposed portions of the polysilicon layer. The refractory metal or metal silicide layer is then reacted with the polysilicon layer resulting in the refractory metal silicide portion of the polycide structure. Another method includes forming a polycide structure by using a refractory metal silicide portion of the polycide structure as a hard mask to remove portions of an underlying layer of polysilicon to form the polysilicon portion of the polycide structure. The polycide structure may be a polycide bit line, word line, interconnect or any other polycide structure.
