Abstract
A method of a method of fabricating a contact. A substrate having a plurality of gates and a plurality of lightly doped source/drain regions is provided. A dielectric layer is formed and patterned to form a self-align contact window to expose a first lightly doped source/drain region of said lightly doped source/drain regions, and to form a first spacer on a side wall of a first gate of said gates simultaneously. An ion implantation is performed by using the first spacer as a mask, so that a first heavily doped source/drain region is formed in the first lightly doped source/drain region. A doped poly-silicon layer is formed over the substrate, and a metal silicide layer is formed on the doped poly-silicon layer. The doped poly-silicon and the metal silicide layer are patterned to form a self-align contact.
