Abstract

A metal or silicide buried layer in MOS semiconductor devices provides a drain contact on the upper surface of the device with a greatly reduced resistance. The methods of manufacture include depositing the buried layer, rather than diffusing, so that interference with other components is greatly reduced and spacing between components is reduced to reduce the over-all size of the device.
