摘要: Abstract Tungsten and WSi2 have been examined as contact barriers between aluminium n+ - or p+ -Si. The specific resistivity diode leakage current were evaluated after heat treatment at different temperatures. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry measurements, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy sheet resistance measurements performed to study the thermal stabilities of Al/W/Si Al/WSi2/Si systems. resistivities chemically vapour deposited tungsten -Si with a surface concentration 7.5 × 1019 cm-3 8 10-7 Ωcm2 9 respectively. To 2.6 cm-3, they 5 10-6 1 Ωcm2. Diffusion was revealed occur above 475°C in case WSi2. void formation silicon substrates observed 500°C for system. increase structures is related onset Si-Al interpenetration. Alloy contacts whereas W-Al other alloys not detected up 600°C contact.
