Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gate structure for MOSFETs for application of the CMOS technology, etc., which is durable against high temperature processes such as junction activation, etc., and reduces the gate propagation delay. SOLUTION: The gate structure 10 has an insulation layer 14 on a semiconductor substrate 12, and a polysilicon gate electrode 16 on the insulation layer 14. The gate structure 10 comprises a diffused barrier layer 20 having semi- insulative characteristics on the gate electrode 16, and a gate conductor 18 on the barrier layer 20. The conductor 18 is electrically contacted to the gate electrode 16. The constitution and the thickness of the barrier layer 20 are adjusted so as to effectively block the diffusion and the mixing between the gate conductor 18 and the gate electrode 16, but realize a capacitive coupling and/or a leak current not so increasing the gate propagation delayer of the gate surface 10.

Abstract: The phase transformation temperature of a metal silicide layer formed overlying a silicon layer on a semiconductor wafer is lowered. First, a refractory metal is disposed proximate to the surface of the silicon layer, a precursory metal is deposited in a layer overlying the refractory metal, and the wafer is heated to a temperature sufficient to form the metal silicide from the precursory metal. The precursory metal may be a refractory metal, and is preferably titanium, tungsten, or cobalt. The concentration of the refractory metal at the surface of the silicon layer is preferably less than about 10 atoms/cm . The refractory metal may be Mo, Co, W, Ta, Nb, Ru, or Cr, and more preferably is Mo or Co. The heating step used to form the silicide is performed at a temperature less than about 700 DEG C, and more preferably between about 600-700 DEG C. Optionally, the wafer is annealed following the step of disposing the refractory metal and prior to the step of depositing the precursory metal layer. Preferably, this annealing step is performed at a wafer temperature of at least about 900 DEG C.
