    摘要: In one embodiment, a gate of a transistor is formed by performing a first thermal treatment on a silicon layer, forming a metal stack over the silicon layer, and performing a second thermal treatment on the metal stack. The first thermal treatment may be a rapid thermal annealing step, while the second thermal treatment may be a rapid thermal nitridation step. The resulting gate exhibits relatively low interface contact resistance between the silicon layer and the metal stack, and may thus be advantageously employed in high-speed devices.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a transistor comprises raised structures over a source region and a drain region. The raised source structures may comprise selectively deposited metal, such as selective tungsten. A self-aligned contact structure formed through a dielectric layer may provide an electrical connection between an overlying structure (e.g., an interconnect line) and the source or drain region. The transistor may further comprise a gate stack having a capping layer over a metal.
