초록

In this paper, Ni Germane-silicide formed on undoped $Si_{0.8}Ge_{0.2}$ as well as source/drain dopants doped $Si_{0.8}Ge_{0.2}$ was characterized by the four-point probe for sheet resistance. x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Low resistive NiSiGe is formed by one step RTP (Rapid thermal processing) with temperature range at $500{\~}700^{\circ}C$. To enhance the thermal stability of Ni Germane-silicide, Ni/Co/TiN structure with different Co concentration were studied in this work. Low sheet resistance was obtained by Ni/Co/TiN structure with high Co concentration using 2-step RTP and it almost keeps the same low sheet resistance even after furnace annealing at $650^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.
