ABSTRACTAs CMOS technologies are scaled to 0.10 μm and beyond, self-aligned silicide (salicide) processes find difficult challenges. As junction depths and linewidths are scaled, achieving both low sheet resistance and low contact resistance maintaining low diode leakage becomes increasingly difficult. In this paper we present studies of Ti and Co salicide processes implemented into a 0.10 μm CMOS technology. We show that both for Ti and Co, the optimization of RTP parameters plays a crucial roll in achieving a successful implementation. For Co salicide, optimization of RTP conditions results in elimination of shallow junction leakage (its main scaling problem). Two-step RTP and one-step RTP Ti salicide processes are compared, showing the advantages of one-step RTP. The RTP process windows for low resistance narrow gates (the main scaling issue for Ti salicide) are analyzed. Processes with pre-amorphization, with Mo doping and with a combination of both are compared. An optimal process using Mo and preamorphization implants and one-step RTP is shown to result in excellent device characteristics and low resistance to 0.06 μm gates.

AbstractA novel type of low-resistance ohmic contacts is demonstrated utilizing polarization-induced electric fields in thin p-type InGaN layers on p-type GaN. An increase of the hole tunneling probability through the barrier and a concomitant significant decrease of the specific contact resistance can be attributed to a reduction of the tunneling barrier width in the InGaN capping layers due to the polarization-induced electric fields. The specific contact resistance of Ni (10 nm) / Au (30 nm) contacts deposited on the InGaN capping layers was determined by the transmission line method. Specific contact resistances of 1.2 × 10-2 Ω cm2 and 6 × 10-3 & cm2 were obtained for capping layer thicknesses of 20 nm and 2 nm, respectively.
