Abstract

A method for fabricating a device which includes a tantalum silicide structure, and which is essentially free of conductive etch residues, is disclosed. The method includes the steps of depositing tantalum and silicon onto a substrate, patterning the tantalum and silicon, and then sintering the patterned tantalum and silicon to form a patterned layer of tantalum silicide.
