Abstract

Methods are provided for fabricating a semiconductor device having an impurity doped region in a silicon substrate. The method comprises forming a metal silicide layer electrically contacting the impurity doped region and depositing a conductive layer overlying and electrically contacting the metal silicide layer. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the conductive layer and an opening is etched through the dielectric layer to expose a portion of the conductive layer. A conductive material is selectively deposited to fill the opening and to electrically contact the impurity doped region.
