ABSTRACT:
A technique is provided that enables the formation of metal silicide individually for N-channel transistors and P-channel transistors, while at the same time a strain-inducing mechanism is also provided individually for each transistor type. In this way, a cobalt silicide having a reduced distance to the channel region of an NMOS transistor may be provided, while a P-channel transistor may receive a highly conductive nickel silicide, without unduly affecting or compromising the characteristics of the N-channel transistor.
