ABSTRACTNi/Ge/Au and Ni/Ge/Pd contacts have been made on 1018 cm-3 n-type GaAs. The contacts were subjected to ion beam mixing through the metallization using 70-130 keV Se+ ions and subsequently subjected to rapid thermal annealing (RTA). These are compared with unimplanted contacts produced by RTA techniques on the same substrate. The specific contact resistance ,pc, has been measured for the two systems. In addition, the contacts have been studied using Auger depth profiling and SEM studies have been used to determine surface morphology. Values of pc ∽ 10-6 -10-7 ohm-cm2 have been measured. It is observed that ion beam mixing or the addition of a Ti overlayer (to the Ni/Ge/Au) improves the contact morphology.

ABSTRACTThe use of rapid thermal processing is reported for simultaneous formation of TiSi2 from Ti deposited layers and activation of As or Sb implanted profiles in Si. Properties of the silicide and the doped Si are reported with emphasis on impurity redistribution and defect removal.

ABSTRACTIn this study, the critical dose for ion-beam mixing of Co and Si with Ge-ions which results in homogenous CoSi2 formation after rapid thermal annealing was found. For this purpose, Co was deposited by sputtering on chemically cleaned, <100>-oriented Si and subsequently mixed with Ge ions at doses in the range of 2. 1014 to 1. 1015 cm−2. Silicidation was performed in a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system at temperatures between 700° and 100°C. Rutherford backscattering measurements showed that annealing at 700°C results in an incomplete reaction when ion-beam mixing at a dose of 2.1014 cm−2 or no ion-beam mixing was performed. After annealing at 1000°C, TEM samples revealed an inhomogeneous CoSi2 film consisting of large grains embedded in the Si. Mixing at doses at or above 5.1014 cm−2 and subsequent RTA at 700°C resulted in uniform CoSi2 layers. Higher annealing temperatures cause larger grains and resistivity values as low as 18 μΩcm. Therefore, we demonstrated that the critical dose leading to complete formation of smooth CoSi2 films with abrupt interface is 5.1014 cm−2 which is nearly the same value as the amorphization dose of Ge in Si.

AbstractTitanium silicide was formed on the top of Si wafers by arsenic ion beam mixing and rapid thermal annealing. Three different arsenic-ion mixing conditions were examined in this work. The sheet resistance, residue As concentration post annealing and TiSi2 phase were characterized by using the* four-point probe, RBS and electron diffraction, respectively. TiSi2 of C54 phase was identified in the doubly implanted samples. The thickness of the Ti silicide and the TiSi2/Si interface were observed by the cross-sectional TEM.

ABSTRACTFormation of CoSi2 using the technique of ion implantation through metal (ITM) and subsequent appropriate rapid thermal annealing is described. Silicide morphology is investigated by SEM and TEM. SIMS and RBS are used to determine dopant distribution and junction depth. Self-aligned CoSi2/n+p diodes produced in this technique are presented.
