Effect of Heat Treatments on Tungsten Polycide Gate Structures

텅스텐 폴리사이드 게이트 구조에서의 열처리 효과

Tungsten silicide films were deposited on the highly phosphorus-doped poly Si/SiO2/Si substrates by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition. They were heat treated in different conditions. XTEM, SIMS and high frequency C-V analysis were conducted for characterization. It can be concluded that outdiffusion of phosphours impurity throught the silicide films lead to its depletion in the poly-Si gate region near the gate oxide, resulting in loss of capacitance and increase of effective gate oxide thickness.
