Abstract

A bilayer of CoSi2 covered with TiN on (100)Si has been processed in a nonvacuum environment using a (100)Si wafer deposited with a thin film bilayer of Ti under Co. The Si/CoSi2/TiN stack has been studied using transmission electron microscopy, Rutherfor Backscattering Spectrometry and Auger Electron Spectroscopy. Cross section TEM and RBS studies showed that CoSi2 film is a single crystal and epitaxial with (100)Si. Ledges parallel to (111)Si were also observed at the (100)Si/CoSi2 interface, which was mostly planar. The orientation relationship at Si/CoSi2 interiace, microstructural characteristics of CoSi2 and TiN and the mechanism of 2the reaction are presented.
