As Ion 주입된 Si 기판위의 native oxide가 RTP법으로 성장시킨 Ti-Silicides의 형성에 미치는 영향

Effects of native oxide on Si substrates-As ion implanted on the formation of Ti-Silicides grown by RTP method

For finding the effects of As on $TiSi_2$ formation, sputter deposited Ti film on Si substrates implanted with various doses of As have been rapid thermal annealed in Ar atmosphere at temperatures of 600-900$^{\circ}C$ for 20 sec. The sheet resistance of Ti-Silicides was examined with 4-point probe, the thickness with ${\alpha}$-step, and the As dopant behavior in Si substrates with ASR. The thickness of Ti-Silicides decreased with increasing As doping, but Ti-Silicides sheet resistance increased with increasing it. However, the critical concentration effect reported by Park et al. was not observed. We observed that the thickness of native oxide increase with increasing As doping. Thus, we concluded that native oxide act as a "barrier" for the Si diffusion.
