Abstract

This paper examines the challenges for silicide contacts in current and future CMOS technologies and assesses the capability of TiSi2 and related materials, as well as CoSi2, to meet the technology requirements. Specific issues such as maintaining low resistance in narrow lines, source/drain silicon consumption, and silicide thermal budget, are discussed. In this regard we evaluate the salient features of the basic titanium salicide process, and variations such as alloying, implantation, selective CVD, and laser silicidation. Data are presented from recent experiments to assess progress in each approach towards meeting the necessary goals. Finally, projections of the future of silicide processing are given.
