Abstract

Uniform CoSi2 surface layers 30nm thick have been realized through room temperature implantation of Co+ through a resist or an oxide mask and low temperature (600°C) annealing. TEM studies show that the surface layers are polycrystalline with large, uniformly thick grains. Resistivity values as low as 181µΩ-cm have been obtained. Surface layers of TiSi2 have also been synthesized using a similar process. The ease of formation, the low resistivity and the smooth interfaces of the CoSi2 and TiSi2 surface layers make this technique a promising candidate for contacting source and drain junctions in sub-half-micron CMOS processes.
