    Abstract: A local interconnect (LI) structure (112) is formed by forming a silicide layer (60, 50) in selected regions of a semiconductor structure then depositing an essentially uniform layer (110) of transition or refractory metal overlying the semiconductor structure. The metal local interconnect (112) is deposited without forming an intermediate insulating layer between the silicide (60, 50) and metal layers (110) to define contact openings or vias. In some embodiments, titanium is a suitable metal for formation of the local interconnect (112). Suitable selected regions (60) for silicide layer formation include, for example, silicided source/drain (S/D) regions and silicided gate contact regions (50). The silicided regions form uniform structures for electrical coupling to underlying doped regions that are parts of one or more semiconductor devices. In integrated circuits in which an etch-stop layer (100) is desired for the patterning of the metal film, a first optional insulating layer (100) is deposited prior to deposition of the metal film. In one example, the insulating layer is a silicon dioxide (oxide) layer that is typically less than 10 nm in thickness.

    Abstract: A method of making NMOS and PMOS devices with reduced masking steps is disclosed. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate with a first active region of first conductivity type and a second active region of second conductivity type, forming a gate material over the first and second active regions, forming a first masking layer over the gate material, etching the gate material using the first masking layer as an etch mask to form a first gate over the first active region and a second gate over the second active region, implanting a dopant of second conductivity type into the first and second active regions using the first masking layer as an implant mask, forming a second masking layer that covers the first active region and includes an opening above the second active region, and implanting a dopant of first conductivity type into the second active region using the first and second masking layers as an implant mask. Advantageously, the dopant of first conductivity type counterdopes the dopant of second conductivity type in the second active region, thereby providing source and drain regions of second conductivity type in the first active region and source and drain regions of first conductivity type in the second active region with a single masking step and without subjecting either gate to dopants of first and second conductivity type.
