초록

The influence of Si surface damage on Ni-silicide with TiN Capping layer and the effect of $H_2$ anneal are characterized. Si surface is intentionally damaged using Ar Sputtering. The sheet resistance of NiSi formed on damaged silicon increased rapidly as Ar sputtering time increased. However, the thermal stability of Ni-Si on the damage silicon was more stable than that on at undamaged Si, which means that damaged region retards the formation of NiSi. It was shown that $H_2$ anneal and TiN capping is highly effective in reducing NiSi sheet resistance.
