Abstract:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor structure on a semiconductor wafer is disclosed. A semiconductor wafer having a first region, a second region, and a wafer bevel region is provided. The wafer bevel region has a silicon surface. A first semiconductor structure is formed in the first region and a second semiconductor structure is formed in the second region. The semiconductor wafer is subjected to a bevel plasma treatment to form a blocking layer only in the wafer bevel region. A silicidation process is then performed to form a silicide layer only in the first region and the second region.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the silicon dioxide layer is formed by oxidizing the silicon surface of the wafer bevel region during the bevel plasma treatment.
