Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A structure and method for providing a multiple silicide integration is provided. An embodiment comprises forming a first transistor and a second transistor on a substrate. The first transistor is masked and a first silicide region is formed on the second transistor. The second transistor is then masked and a second silicide region is formed on the first transistor, thereby allowing for device specific silicide regions to be formed on the separate devices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method comprising: providing a substrate with a first region and a second region; forming a first type of transistor in the first region, the first type of transistor comprising sidewalls along an outer edge of the first type of transistor; forming a second type of transistor different from the first type of transistor in the second region; forming a first protective layer over the first type of tr…
