Methods for forming memory devices and integrated circuitry, for example,
DRAM circuitry, structures and devices resulting from such methods, and
systems that incorporate the devices are provided. In some embodiments,
the method includes forming a metallized contact to an active area in a
silicon substrate in a peripheral circuitry area and a metallized contact
to a polysilicon plug in a memory cell array area by forming a first
opening to expose the active area at the peripheral circuitry area,
chemical vapor depositing a titanium layer over the dielectric layer and
into the first opening to form a titanium silicide layer over the active
area in the silicon substrate, removing the titanium layer selective to
the titanium silicide layer, forming a second opening in the dielectric
layer to expose the polysilicon plug at the memory cell array area, and
forming metal contacts within the first and second openings to the active
area and the exposed polysilicon plug.
