Extract

Formation of TiSi2 on nitrogen ion implanted (001)Si has been investigated. Nitrogen ion implantation was found to suppress the B and As diffusion in silicon. For Ti on 30 keV BF2+−20 keV N2+ and 30 keV As+−20 keV N2+ implanted samples, a continuous low-resistivity TiSi2 layer was found to form in all samples annealed at 700–900 °C. For Ti on 1 ×1015/cm2 N2+ 1- and As+ implanted samples, end-of-range defects were completely eliminated in all samples annealed at 700–900 °C. The results indicated that with appropriate control, N+-implantation can be successfully implemented in forming low-resistivity TiSi2 contacts on shallow junctions in deep submicron devices.
