    Abstract: The invention encompasses methods of forming silicide interconnects over silicon comprising substrates. In one implementation, a first layer comprising a metal and a non-metal impurity is formed over a region of a silicon comprising substrate where a silicide interconnection is desired. An elemental metal comprising second layer is formed over the first layer. The substrate is annealed to cause a reaction between at least the elemental metal of the second layer and silicon of the substrate region to form a silicide of the elemental metal of the second layer. In another considered aspect, a method of forming a silicide interconnect over a silicon comprising substrate includes providing a buffering layer to silicon diffusion between a refractory metal comprising layer and a silicon containing region of a substrate. The substrate is annealed under conditions effective to diffuse at least some of at least one of the refractory metal and the silicon through the buffering layer to form a silicide of the refractory metal, with the buffering layer during the annealing reducing silicon consumption from the region over that which would otherwise occur under the same annealing conditions were the buffering layer not present. The invention also encompasses a method of forming a stack of refractory metal nitride over refractory metal silicide over silicon includes providing a silicon comprising substrate.

    Abstract: The invention includes methods of forming conductive lines, such as local interconnects. In one implementation, a method of forming a conductive line includes depositing a first layer comprising polymer silicon on a substrate. A metal layer is deposited at least over some portion of the first layer. After depositing the metal layer, the substrate is exposed to annealing conditions effective to form a metal silicide over the at least some portion. The metal silicide is provided into a desired conductive line shape. In one implementation, a method of forming a conductive line includes depositing a first layer comprising polymer silicon or amorphous silicon on a substrate. Only a portion of the first layer is exposed to both oxygen and ultraviolet light effective to transform at least an outer part of the portion to oxidized silicon. After the exposing to both oxygen and ultraviolet light, a metal layer is deposited at least over some portion of the first layer which was not subjected to the effective exposing to the combination of oxygen and ultraviolet light. After depositing the metal layer, the substrate is exposed to annealing conditions effective to form a metal silicide over the at least some portion. After the annealing, metal is removed from the metal layer which has not been transformed to metal silicide substantially selective relative to metal which has been so transformed.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming charge storage transistor gates and standard FET gates in which common processing is utilized for fabrication of at least some portions of the different types of gates. FET and charge storage transistor gate stacks may be formed. The gate stacks may each include a gate material, an insulative material, and a sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is removed from the FET and charge storage transistor gate stacks. The insulative material of the FET gate stacks is etched through. A conductive material is formed over the FET gate stacks and over the charge storage transistor gate stacks. The conductive material physically contacts the gate material of the FET gate stacks, and is separated from the gate material of the charge storage transistor gate stacks by the insulative material remaining in the charge storage transistor gate stacks. Some embodiments include gate structures.

    Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming one or more doped regions in a semiconductor substrate. Plasma doping may be used to form a first dopant to a first depth within the substrate. The first dopant may then be impacted with a second dopant to knock the first dopant to a second depth within the substrate. In some embodiments the first dopant is p-type (such as boron) and the second dopant is neutral type (such as germanium). In some embodiments the second dopant is heavier than the first dopant.
