Abstract:
A method includes forming a source/drain region, and in a vacuum chamber or a vacuum cluster system, preforming a selective deposition to form a metal silicide layer on the source/drain region, and a metal layer on dielectric regions adjacent to the source/drain region. The method further includes selectively etching the metal layer in the vacuum chamber, and selectively forming a metal nitride layer on the metal silicide layer. The selectively forming the metal nitride layer is performed in the vacuum chamber or a vacuum cluster system without vacuum break.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the metal silicide layer and the metal layer are formed simultaneously.
