ABSTRACTArsenic out-diffusing from Cobalt Disilicide into underlying silicon displays an enhanced activation level of up to 80%, and an enhanced diffusivity of greater than one order of magnitude. Boron, in contrast, displays a diffusivity as small as 0.25 times that expected. These observations are consistent with a considerable Si-vacancy injection by the silicide layer into the underlying substrate.

ABSTRACTA self-aligned titanium silicide process which combines the use of ion-beam mixing and rapid thermal processing (RTP) has been developed for CMOS VLSI applications. Shallow silicided junctions are formed by implanting dopants into silicide layers previously formed by ion-beam mixing with Si ions and low temperature annealing, and the subsequent drive-in of the implanted ions into the Si substrate during high temperature RTP. In addition, the formation of TiN on TiSi2 is achieved simultaneously during this process as a diffusion barrier for Al metallization. Short-channel MOS transistors with SALICIDE structure have been successfully fabricated and tested. Results of the impurity diffusion in silicide layer, the impurity segregation at both silicide/Si and oxide/silicide interfaces, contact stabilit of Al/TiN/TiSi2 structure, and device characteristics will be reported. Issues related to this process and its application to submicron device fabrication are discussed and foreseeable problem areas identified.

AbstractIn this work we investigate the ion beam synthesis of Sn and Sb clusters in thin oxides. 80 keV (fluences of 0.1-1 × 1016 cm−2) Sn implantation in 85 nm thick SiO2, followed by annealing (800-1000°C for 30-300 sec under Ar or N 2 dry ambient) in a rapid thermal processing (RTP) system, leads to the formation of two cluster bands, near the middle of the SiO2 layer and the Si/SiO2 interface. In addition, big isolated clusters are randomly distributed between the two bands. Cluster-size distribution and cluster-crystallinity are related to implantation fluence and annealing time. Low energy (10-12 keV) Sb and Sn implantation (fluences 2-5 × 1015 cm−2) leads to the formation of very uniform cluster-size distribution. Under specific process conditions, only an interface cluster band is observed.

AbstractThe fabrication methods of ferroelectric (FE) thin films have received special attention in recent years because of the needs of FE thin films integrated with semiconductor devices. Rapid thermal processing (RTP) has developed in fabrication of FE thin films because it can reduce processing temperature and time duration, and it also improves the properties of FE thin films compatible with semiconductor devices. The thin film samples used were prepared by a multi-ion-beam reactive cosputtering system (MIBRECS) at room temperature. The samples were then subjected to a post-deposition annealing in a RTP system. It was found that PbTiO3 (PT) thin film could grow on amorphous or polycrystal interfacial layer and the PT thin films annealed by RTP showed the prefered [110] and [100] textures. The effect of interfacial layer on the crystallization and microstructure of the films was also discussed.

ABSTRACTIon implantation has been used to modify the initial stress in thin (40 nm) SiO2 films on G a As, and to condition the SiO2-G a As interface to pro mote adhesion. The effectiveness of these implanted films as caps to suppress decomposition of GaAs during rapid thermal processing has been studied, and this provides an indicator of the mechanical stability of the films. Measurements of the initial film stress, as well as stress changes caused by implantation and annealing, have been made to help interpret the implantation results. Our results indicate that ion implantation does not have a strong effect on the performance of thin film SiO2 encapsulants on GaAs.

ABSTRACTA SALICIDE process is described in this paper, in which ion-beam mixing is used for silicide formation, and doped silicide in conjunction with RTA drive-in are used for shallow silicided junction formation. Fundamental issues related to this process have been investigated, including (i) effects of ion-beam mixing and RTA on the properties of Ti SALICIDE and the interaction between Ti and SiO2; (ii) the self-aligned TiNxOy TiSi2 contact barrier formation and phase transformation; (iii) the mechanism of impurity rediWstrbution and segregation, and junction formation during RTA drive-in; and (iv) the performances and reliability of fabricated SALICIDE devices. Results show that this process may have a great impact on future VLSI technology.
