US Patent 7179737 Semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same

In a semiconductor device, the ohmic contact at the junction between the metal interconnection and the semiconductor layer is lowered by depositing a first conductor layer comprised of, for example, tungsten nitride and a second conductor layer comprised of, for example, tungsten silicide successively from the lower layer so as to cover the upper surface of intermediate conductive layers comprised of a metal, for example, tungsten as a main interconnection material, subsequently introducing an impurity, for example, boron (b) to the second conductor layer, then patterning the first and the second conductor layers thereby forming a conductor layer, and then forming a lower semiconductor layer comprised of, for example, polycrystal silicon for forming a semiconductor region for source and drain of load MISFET of SRAM so as to be in contact with the conductor layer.
