Abstract

Semiconductor devices may be made by forming a silicided layer on a silicon material such as that used to form the extractor of a field emission display. The silicided layer may be self-aligned with the emitter of a field emission display. It the silicided layer is treated at a temperature above 1000.degree. C. by exposure to a nitrogen source, the silicide is resistant to subsequent chemical attack such as that involved in a buffered oxide etching process.
