Silicidation of a polysilicon line having frcc upper sidewalls is performed so that no stress is applied to the sidewalls of the polysilicon line, resulting in the formation of a reduced stress silicide structure. This is accomplished by forming a polysilicon line having spacers on either side which extend above the upper surface of the polysilicon line but which are spaced from the edge of the polysilicon line. A layer of a metal such as titanium or tungsten is provided in contact with the top surface polysilicon line. The structure is annealed to cause the metal to react with the polysilicon to form a layer of silicide. Since the upper side portions of the polysilicon line are spaced away from the spacers during the silicidation anneal, the growing silicide region has room to expand without being subjected to lateral stresses in the silicidation process. The suicide is formed in a reduced stress condition, as compared to conventional processes, so that the silicide layer produced will be more readily converted to the desired low resistivity phase of silicide.

A test system includes a built-in self-test (BIST) circuit and a stress applicator for use in analyzing a memory array. The stress applicator applies a selective set of stress factors to the memory array, such as temperature and voltage conditions. The BIST circuit executes a test routine on the memory array to detect the presence of any faulty memory address locations that may arise under the prevailing stress condition. A full testing cycle involves iterative repetition of the functions performed by the stress applicator and BIST circuit, with variations in the stress factors across the testing iterations. An accumulator cumulatively stores the fault information generated by the BIST circuit during each testing iteration. Following completion of the testing cycle, a repair operation is performed by a built-in self-repair (BISR) circuit to remap the faulty memory address locations indicated by the accumulator to redundant memory address locations.
