Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03079424A1] A method is disclosed in which differing metal layers are sequentially deposited on silicon-containing regions so that the type and thickness of the metal layers may be adapted to specific characteristics of the underlying silicon-containing regions. Subsequently, a heat treatment is performed to convert the metals into metal silicides so as to improve the electrical conductivity of the silicon-containing regions. In this way, silicide portions may be formed that are individually adapted to specific silicon-containing regions so that device performance of individual semiconductor elements or the overall performance of a plurality of semiconductor elements may be significantly improved. Moreover, a semiconductor device is disclosed comprising at least two silicon-containing regions having formed therein differing silicide portions, wherein at least one silicide portion comprises a noble metal.
