摘要: The self-aligned-silicidation technique has become a crucial part of ultra-high speed CMOS technologies. Many studies on NiSi have been reported recently. possesses many advantages and appears to be suitable candidate replace TiSi/sub 2/ in future ULSI devices. Nitrogen ion implantation used suppress the boron arsenic diffusion as well hot-carrier degradation. In this paper, formation nickel silicides nitrogen implanted silicon is investigated. phase [001]Si was suppressed shifted higher temperature compared that blank sample. presence found improve crystallinity epitaxial NiSi/sub 2/. effects silicide more pronounced with increase dose implantation.
