ABSTRACT:
A method for enhancing grain structure of a contact material for a semiconductor device is provided. The method initiates with exposing the contact material of a contact at a first depth within the semiconductor device. Then, the exposed contact material at the first depth is coated. In one embodiment, the exposed contact material is coated via a voltage potential driven energy. The coated material is then removed, thereby exposing the contact material at a second depth within the semiconductor device. Then, the exposed material at the second depth is coated.
