An improved process for preparing selective deposition of conductive metals on disilicide encroachment barriers allows the construction of integrated circuit components wherein the metal/disilicide interface is substantially free of O and/or F contamination. The level of interfacial oxygen and/or fluorine contamination in the selective W deposition on the TiSi.sub.2 was substantially reduced or eliminated by first forming a C49 TiSi.sub.2 phase on a substrate, selectively depositiong W on the C49 TiSi.sub.2 phase and thereafter annealing a a (minimum) temperature sufficient to convert the high resistivity phase C49 TiSi.sub.2 to the low resistivity phase C54 TiSi.sub.2.
