Abstract:
A method of making a semiconductor device that includes forming a dielectric stack over a substrate and patterning a contact region in the dielectric stack, the contact region having side portions and a bottom portion that exposes the substrate. The method also includes forming a dielectric barrier layer in the contact region to cover the side portions and forming a conductive blocking layer to cover the dielectric barrier layer, the dielectric stack, and the bottom portion of the contact region. The method can include forming a conductive layer over the conductive blocking layer and forming a conductive barrier layer over the conductive layer. The method can further include forming a silicide region in the substrate beneath the conductive layer.

Claim (Index 8):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a dielectric stack formed on a substrate; a contact region formed within the dielectric stack and extending into the substrate, the contact region having side portions and a bottom portion; a dielectric barrier layer formed on the side portions of the contact region, wherein the dielectric barrier layer has a top surface that is level with a top surface of the dielectric stack; a conductive blocking layer formed along the side portions of the contact region over the dielectric barrier layer and the dielectric stack; a conductive layer formed along the side portions and bottom portion of the contact region over the conductive blocking layer in the contact region; a conductive barrier layer formed on the conductive layer in the contact region; a conduct core over the conductive barrier layer in the contact region; and a silicide region located in the substrate beneath the conductive layer.
