ABSTRACT:
A method for forming silicide includes the steps of: forming a nickel film on a silicon layer (or a silicon substrate); introducing nitrogen into at least one of the nickel film and the interface between the nickel film and the silicon layer (or the silicon substrate); and after the introduction of the nitrogen, applying heat treatment to the nickel film and the silicon layer (or the silicon substrate) under predetermined conditions to form a nickel disilicide layer.
