Abstract
A self-aligned SOI device with body contact and silicide gate. The SOI device is formed using an ordinary substrate such as silicon. A silicide gate is self-aligned and formed from re-crystallization of nickel and amorphous silicon. The self-aligned silicide gate includes gate contact areas, and is self-aligned with respect to the gate opening, the source and drain regions and a nitride isolation layer. Nickel spacers deposited adjacent the isolation layer, and amorphous silicon deposited between the nickel spacers, form the self-aligned silicide gate through a silicidation process.
