ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a semiconductor device having dual nitride liners, a silicide layer, and a protective layer beneath one of the nitride liners for preventing the etching of the silicide layer. A first aspect of the invention provides a method for use in the manufacture of a semiconductor device comprising the steps of applying a protective layer to a device, applying a first silicon nitride liner to the device, removing a portion of the first silicon nitride liner, removing a portion of the protective layer, and applying a second silicon nitride liner to the device.
