ABSTRACT:
A structure relating to removal of an oxide of titanium generated as a byproduct of a process that forms cobalt disilicide within an insulated-gate field effect transistor (FET). The structure may comprise a layer of cobalt disilicide that is substantially free of cobalt monosilicide, with substantially no stringer of an oxide of titanium on the layer of cobalt disilicide. The structure may alternatively comprise a layer of cobalt disilicide, a patch of an oxide of titanium, and a reagent in contact with the patch at a temperature and for a period of time. The layer is substantially free of cobalt monosilicide. The patch is on the layer of cobalt disilicide. The reagent is adapted to remove the patch within the period of time. The reagent does not chemically react with the layer of cobalt disilicide, and the reagent comprises water, ammonium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide.
