Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a source/drain region, a source/drain silicide layer formed on the source/drain region, and a first contact disposed over the source/drain silicide layer. The first contact includes a first metal layer, an upper surface of the first metal layer is at least covered by a silicide layer, and the silicide layer includes a same metal element as the first metal layer.

Claim (Index 7):
A semiconductor device including a field effect transistor, comprising:\n a first interlayer dielectric layer; a first contact embedded in the first interlayer dielectric layer and disposed over a underlying conductive layer; an adhesive layer disposed between the first contact and the underlying conductive layer; a first silicide layer covering an upper surface of the first metal layer; an insulating layer disposed over the first interlayer dielectric layer; a second interlayer dielectric layer disposed over the insulating layer; and a second contact embedded in the first interlayer dielectric layer and in contact with at least one of the silicide layer and the first contact, the silicide layer includes a same metal element as the first metal layer.
