Abstract
A semiconductor device may include, but is not limited to, a single crystal silicon diffusion layer, a polycrystal silicon conductor, and a diffusion barrier layer. The diffusion barrier layer separates the polycrystal silicon conductor from the single crystal silicon diffusion layer. The diffusion barrier layer prevents a diffusion of at least one of silicon-interstitial and silicon-vacancy between the single crystal silicon diffusion layer and the polycrystal silicon conductor.
