Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a transistor having a source/drain region. A conductive contact is disposed over the source/drain region. A silicide element is disposed below the conductive contact. The silicide element has a non-angular cross-sectional profile. In some embodiments, the silicide element may have an approximately curved cross-sectional profile, for example an ellipse-like profile. The silicide element is formed at least in part by forming an amorphous region in the source/drain region via an implantation process. The implantation process may be a cold implantation process.

Claim (Index 12):
The semiconductor device of  claim 8 , wherein the silicon substrate contains recrystallized amorphous silicon.
