Abstract

Nickel disilicide layers were prepared by nickel ion implantation into silicon substrates using a metal vapor vacuum arc ion source at various beam current densities to an ion dose of 6×1017 cm−2. Characterization of the as-implanted and annealed samples was performed using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements. The temperature dependence of the sheet resistivity and the Hall mobility from 30 to 400 K showed peculiar peak and valley features varying from sample to sample. A two-band model was proposed to explain the observed electrical transport properties.
