Abstract
A method forming a tungsten contact can include forming a contact hole in an interlayer dielectric layer to expose a portion of an underlying silicon based substrate and to form a side wall of the contact hole. A tungsten silicide layer can be formed on at least on the exposed portion of the substrate. A tungsten nitride layer can be conformally formed on a surface of the interlayer dielectric layer, on the tungsten silicide layer and on the side wall. A contact tungsten layer can be formed on the tungsten nitride layer to fill the contact hole. Related apparatus and contacts are also disclosed.
