The invention provides a semiconductor device, a method of manufacture
therefore and a method for manufacturing an integrated circuit including
the same. The semiconductor device, among other elements, may include a
gate structure located over a substrate, the gate structure including a
gate dielectric layer and gate electrode layer. The semiconductor device
may further include source/drain regions located in/over the substrate
and adjacent the gate structure, and a nickel alloy silicide located in
the source/drain regions, the nickel alloy silicide having an amount of
indium located therein.
