Abstract
A selective deposition process of a refractory metal silicide onto the silicon apparent surfaces of a wafer partially coated with SiO.sub.2, comprising the following steps: flowing in a cold-wall airtight chamber comprising said wafer a gaseous silane composite at a partial pressure P.sub.Si.sbsb.x.sub.H.sbsb.y and an halogenide of said metal at a partial pressure P.sub.Me ; heating the wafer to a first temperature (T1) for a first duration (t1), P.sub.Si.sbsb.x.sub.H.sbsb.y and P.sub.Me being chosen so as to allow a metal silicide deposition to be formed on the wafer, the silicon being overstoichiometric; and, heating the wafer to a second temperature (T2) lower than the first one for a second duration (t2), T2 being chosen as a function of P.sub.Si.sbsb.x.sub.H.sbsb.y and P.sub.Me so as to allow a stoichiometric metal silicide deposition to be formed on the wafer.
