Abstract

Semiconductor structures include a channel region, a gate dielectric on the channel region, source and drain structures on opposite sides of the channel region, and a gate conductor between the source and drain structures on the gate dielectric. The source and drain structures include source and drain silicides. The gate conductor includes a gate conductor silicide. The gate conductor silicide is thicker than the source and drain silicides.
