Abstract
Exemplary methods of forming a semiconductor structure may include forming a layer of metal on a semiconductor substrate. The layer of metal may extend along a first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate may be or include silicon. The methods may include performing an anneal to produce a metal silicide. The methods may include implanting ions in the metal silicide to increase a barrier height over 0.65 V.
