摘要: Abstract The reaction kinetics and electrical properties of the W/TiN/TiSi2/Si W/TiN/Si systems are described. By using TiN/TiSi2 TiN diffusion barrier layer, tungsten silicidation rate is successfully lowered by 2 orders 4.5 magnitude respectively, compared with W/Si system. resistivity 8 μΩ cm after 950°C annealing in N2. considering activation energy WSi2 formation, for W/TiN/TiSi2 system found to be controlled silicon supply at bottom rate-limiting process considered bond breaking TiSi2-Si interface. driving force reduction caused W-TiN 100 A films thick enough maintain thermal stability, i.e. suppress reactions adhesion even 5 h. good ohmic contact order 10-6 Ω cm2 could obtained TiN/p+-Si increasing interfacial hole density up (8–10) × 1019 cm-3. Some application examples proposed W/barrier layer/Si systems.
