Semiconductor device with low resistivity contact structure and method for forming the same
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate including a conductive region made of silicon, germanium or a combination thereof. The method also includes forming an insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate and forming an opening in the insulating layer to expose the conductive region. The method also includes performing a deposition process to form a metal layer over a sidewall and a bottom of the opening, so that a metal silicide or germanide layer is formed on the exposed conductive region by the deposition process. The method also includes performing a first in-situ etching process to etch at least a portion of the metal layer and forming a fill metal material layer in the opening.
