Patent ID: 7863083

Claim:
A method for forming a metal contact in a semiconductor device comprising: depositing a dielectric material layer of less than 100 â„« thickness on an active surface of a pre-processed semi-conducting substrate; depositing a layer of metal from a Re 2 (CO) 10 CVD precursor by a chemical vapor deposition method, wherein depositing the layer of the metal occurs at temperatures from about 300Â° C. to about 550Â° C.; patterning said metal layer and forming a metal electrode on said dielectric layer; and passivating said metal electrode and said dielectric layer in a hydrogen anneal to provide an interface trapped charge density in the semiconductor device ranging from 3E10 cm âˆ’2 eV âˆ’1 to 4E10 cm âˆ’2 eV âˆ’1 .
