Abstract

A process for forming a bonding layer comprising amorphous silicon, titanium, chromium, or tungsten, between the silicide and the N+ polysilicon layer is disclosed. The bonding layer is preferably less than 50 nm. thick. After the bonding layer is deposited, a silicide layer is deposited and the wafer is then sintered at 900.degree.-1000.degree. C. for ten minutes or less.
