Summary:A method for making a semiconductor device structure includes producing a substrate having formed thereon a gate with spacers, respective source and drain regions adjacent to the gate and an; disposing a first metallic layer on the gate with spacers, and the source and drain regions, disposing a second metallic layer on the first metallic layer; doping the first metallic layer with a first dopant through a portion of the second metal layer disposed over the second gate with spacers; and then heating the intermediate structure to a temperature and for a time sufficient to form a silicide of the first metallic layer. This first layer is, for example, Ni while the second layer is, for example, TiN.
