Abstract
A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a conductive region made of silicon, germanium or a combination thereof. The semiconductor device structure also includes an insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate and a fill metal material layer in the insulating layer. In addition, the semiconductor device structure includes a nitrogen-containing metal silicide or germanide layer between the conductive region and the fill metal material layers.
