Abstract

In-situ emissivity measurements at a wavelength of 2.4 μα were used to monitor RTP Co silicidation on crystalline and polycrystalline silicon substrates. The influence of various parameters influencing the silicidation reaction was extensively studied. It is shown that particularly the phase transformation from CoSi to the final suicide phase, COSi2, strongly depends on parameters such as background doping level and type of substrate. This is illustrated for As-doped substrates. The method is extremely sensitive for the in-situ detection of the thermal degradation of thin COSi2 films at high temperatures, which is demonstrated for 25 nm COSi2 layers on highly As-doped c-Si substrates.
