The invention included to methods of forming CoSi.sub.2, methods of
forming field effect transistors, and methods of forming conductive
contacts. In one implementation, a method of forming CoSi.sub.2 includes
forming a substantially amorphous layer comprising MSi.sub.x over a
silicon-containing substrate, where "M" comprises at least some metal
other than cobalt. A layer comprising cobalt is deposited over the
substantially amorphous MSi.sub.x-comprising layer. The substrate is
annealed effective to diffuse cobalt of the cobalt-comprising layer
through the substantially amorphous MSi.sub.x-comprising layer and
combine with silicon of the silicon-containing substrate to form
CoSi.sub.2 beneath the substantially amorphous MSi.sub.x-comprising
layer. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
