Method for making dual silicide and germanide semiconductors
A method for making a dual silicide or germanide semiconductor comprises steps of providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a gate, forming source/drain regions, forming a first silicide, reducing spacers thickness and forming a second silicide. Forming a gate comprises forming an insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate, and forming the gate over the insulating layer. Forming source/drain regions comprises forming lightly doped source/drain regions in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the insulating layer, forming spacers adjacent to the gate and over part of the lightly doped source/drain regions, and forming heavily doped source/drain regions in the semiconductor substrate. The first silicide is formed on an exposed surface of lightly and heavily doped source/drain regions. The second silicide is formed on an exposed surface of lightly doped source/drain regions. A first germanide and second germanide may replace the first silicide and the second silicide.
