Abstract

Wsi2 films were prepared by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) in the temperature range of 800 -1400 °C for time durations of 15 sec -3 minutes. In some of the treatment experiments different gases were involved and a conclusion is made about the role of hydrogen favoring Wsi crystal phase growing at 800 °C. W films with thichnesses in the range 200 Å - 1000 Å were deposited on monocrystalline Si by pyrolitical decomposition of W(CO)6 in CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure and argon atmosphere. Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technics were used for structural characterization and FPP-100 device for resistance measurements. Results show that by solid state reaction applied at different RTA processes WSi2 phase could be formed.Resistivities as low as 2-3 mΩ.cm are obtained for 800 -1000 °C.
