Abstract
Semiconductor devices are formed without zipper defects or channeling and through-implantation and with different silicide thicknesses in the gates and source/drain regions, Embodiments include forming a gate on a substrate, forming a nitride cap on the gate, forming a source/drain region in the substrate on each side of the gate, forming a wet cap fill layer on the source/drain region on each side of the gate, removing the nitride cap from the gate, and forming an amorphized layer in a top portion of the gate. Embodiments include forming the amorphized layer by implanting low energy ions.
