ABSTRACT:
The described embodiments of the present invention provide a protective layer on the surface of silicided regions and methods for its formation. In the primary described embodiment, a titanium silicide layer is formed in integrated circuitry using self-aligned techniques. Local interconnection layers may be formed using biproducts of the self-aligned titanium disilicide formation. A layer of another siliciding metal, for example platinum, is then formed overall. The platinum layer is then subjected to an annealing step which causes a portion of the silicon in the titanium disilicide layers to react with the platinum to form platinum silicide. This platinum silicide layer is formed in a self-aligned manner on the surface of the silicided regions. The platinum silicide layer serves to protect the underlying titanium disilicide layer from subsequent etching steps of other harmful processing operations.
