Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a memory device comprises forming an initial silicide layer, including depositing and annealing a precursor metal over a layer of silicon material on a top surface of a stack of conductive strips in amounts effective to result in a majority of the initial silicide layer being a mono-silicon silicide of the precursor metal. The method comprises depositing and annealing additional silicon material over the initial silicide layer in amounts effective to result in formation of di-silicon silicide of the precursor metal to form a landing pad on the top surface of the stack of conductive strips, the formation of the di-silicon silicide of the precursor metal consuming mono-silicon silicide of the initial silicide layer so a majority of a silicide of the landing pad is di-silicon silicide.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the precursor metal includes Nickel.
