To investigate the final structures and reactions of silicides a somewhat thick Ti monolayer Co monolayer and Co/Ti bilayer films were deposited on single Si(100) wafer by electron beam evaporation followed by heat treatment using RTA system in N2 ambient. TiO2 film formed between Ti and TiSi2 layers due to oxgen or moisture in the Ti monolayer sample. The final layer structure obtained after the silicidation heat-treatment of the Co/Ti bilayer sample turned out to be TiSi2/CoSi2/Ti-Co-Si alloy/CoSi2/Si sbustrate. This implies that imperfect layer inversion occurred due to the formation of Ti-Co-Si intermediate phase.

최근 셀리사이드(salicide) 제조시 $COSiO_2$의 에피텍셜 성장을 돕기 위하여 Ti층을 삽 입한 Co/Ti/Si 이중층 구조의 실리사이드화가 관심을 끌고 있다. Co/Ti 이중층을 이용한 salicide 트랜지스터가 성공적으로 만들어지기 위해서는 gate 주위의 spacer oxide위에 증착 된 Co/Ti 이중층을 급속열처리할 때 Co/Ti와 $SiO_2$간의 계면에서의 상호반응에 대하여 조사 하였다. Co/Ti 이중층은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후 면저항이 급격하게 증가하기 시작하였는데, 이것은 Co층이 $SiO_2$와의 계면에너지를 줄이기 위하여 응집되기 때문이다. 이때 Co/Ti의 열 처리후 Ti에 의하여 $SiO_2$기판의 일부가 분해됨으로써 절연체의 Ti산화물이 형성되었으나, 이외의 도전성 반응부산물은 발견되지 않았다.

We have invetigated the characteristics of thermal instability of Co-silicides annealed at 850$^{\circ}$C ~ 1000$^{\circ}$C for 10~90 minutes in a furance with N$_{2}$ ambient. In our experiments, Co-silicides and Co/Ti bilayer silicides were formed by depositing (Co, Ti) films on the clean Si substrates in an E-beam evaporator and performing the RTA annelaing. The sheet resistances of Co-silicides formed form Co exhibited the nearly constant value under the post-annealing time above 900$^{\circ}$C showing the increase of 30% and 60% under the conditions annealed at 900$^{\circ}$C and 1000$^{\circ}$C for 30minutes. On the other hand, there were no remarkable changes in the sheet resistance sof Co-silicides formed form Co/Ti bilayer under the post-annealing conditons below 1000$^{\circ}$C.

보른이 고농도 도핑된 $\textrm{p}^{+}$-Si 영역상에서 비저항이 낮고 열적 안정성이 우수한 Co/Ti 이중막 실리사이드의 형성을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 Co/Ti 이중막 실리사이드는 청결한 $\textrm{p}^{+}$-Si 기판상에 Co(150${\AA}$)/Ti(50${\AA}$) 박막을 E-beam 기술로 진공증착하고 질소분위기($\textrm{10}^{-1}$atm)에서 2단계 RTA 공정(1차열처리:$650^{\circ}C$/20sec, 2차열처리:$800^{\circ}C$/20sec)을 수행하여 제작된다. 실험에서 얻어진 Co/Ti 이중막 실리사이드는 약 500${\AA}$의 균일한 두께를 갖고 18$\mu\Omega$-cm의 낮은 비저항 특성을 나타내었으며, $1000^{\circ}C$에 이르기까지 장시간 후속 열처리를 실시하여도 면저항 변화나 열응집 현상이 발생되지 않았다.

P가 고농도로 도핑된 다결정 Si 기판 위에 Co/Ti 이중층막을 스퍼터 증착하고 급속열처리함으로써 얻어지는 실리사이드 층구조, 실리사이드막의 응집, 그리고 도펀트의 재분포 등을 단결정 Si 기판 위에서의 그것들과 비교하여 조사하였다. 다결정 Si 기판위에 형성한 Co/Si 이중층을 열처리할 때 단결정 기판에서의 경우보다 $CoSi_2$로의 상천이는 약간 더 낮은 온도에서 시작되며, 막의 응집은 더 심하게 일어난다. 또한, 다결정 Si 기판내의 도펀트보다 웨이퍼 표면을 통하여 바깥으로 outdiffusion 함으로써 소실되는 양이 훨씬 더 많다. 이러한 차이는 다결정 Si 내에서의 결정립계 확산과 고농도의 도펀트에 기인한다. Co/Ti/doped-polycrystalline si의 실리사이드화 열처리후의 층구조는 polycrystalline CoSi2/polycrystalline Si 으로서 Co/Ti(100)Si을 열처리한 경우의 층구조인 Co-Ti-Si/epi-CoSi2/(100)Si 과는 달리 Co-Ti-Si층이 사라진다.

CoSi$_2$/p+/n diodes(bilayer diodes) were fabricated by using epitaxial CoSi$_2$grown from Co/Ti bilayer as a diffusion source. The I-V characteristics of p+/n diodes were measured and compared with those of diode made from Co monolayer (monolayer diode). Monolayer diodes showed typical p+n junction characteristics with the leakage current of as low as 10$^{-12}$ A and forward current 6-orders higher than the leakage current, when drive-in annealed at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 sec.. On the other hand, bilayer diodes showed the Schottky-like behaviors with forward currents rather higher than those of monolyer diodes, but with too high leakage currents, when drive-in annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ or higher. However, when the annealing temperature was lowered to $700^{\circ}C$ and annealing time was increased to 60 sec., the leakage current was reduced to 10$^{-11}$ A and thus sho3wed typical diode characteristics. The high leakage currents for diodes annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ or higher was attributed to Shannon contacts formed due to unremoved Co-Ti-Si precipitates. But when annealed at 50$0^{\circ}C$, B ions diffused in the direction of the surface layer, and thus the leakage currents were reduced by removing Shannon contacts.

Co/Ti bilayer structure in Co salicide process helps to the improvement of device speed by lowering contact resistance due to the epitaxial growth of $CoSi_2$layers. We investigated the epitaxial growth and interfacial mass transport of $CoSi_2$layers formed from $150 \AA$-Co/Ti structure with two step rapid thermal annealing (RTA). The thicknesses of Ti layers were varied from 20 $\AA$ to 100 $\AA$. After we confirmed the appropriate deposition of Ti film even below $100\AA$-thick, we investigated the cross sectional microstructure, surface roughness, eptiaxial growth, and mass transportation of$ CoSi_2$films formed from various Ti thickness with a cross sectional transmission electron microscopy XTEM), scanning probe microscopy (SPM), X-ray diffractometery (XRD), and Auger electron depth profiling, respectively. We found that all Ti interlayer led to$ CoSi_2$epitaxial growth, while $20 \AA$-thick Ti caused imperfect epitaxy. Ti interlayer also caused Co-Ti-Si compounds on top of $CoSi_2$, which were very hard to remove selectively. Our result implied that we need to employ appropriate Ti thickness to enhance the epitaxial growth as well as to lessen Co-Ti-Si compound formation.

Ultr shallow p$^{+}$-n junction with Co/Ti bilayer silicidde contact was formed by ion implantation of BF$_{2}$ [energy : (30, 50)keV, dose:($5{\times}10^{14}$, $5{\times}10^{15}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$] onto the n-well Si(100) region and by RTA-silicidation and post annealing of the evaporated Co(120.angs., 170.angs.)/Ti(40~50.angs.) double layer. The sheet resistance of the silicided p$^{+}$ region of the p$^{+}$-n junction formed by BF2 implantation with energy of 30keV and dose of $5{\times}10^{15}$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and Co/Ti thickness of $120{\AA}$/(40~$50{\AA}$) was about $8{\Omega}$/${\box}$. The junction depth including silicide thickness of about $500{\AA}$ was 0.14${\mu}$. The fabricated p$^{+}$ -n ultra shallow junction depth including silicide thickness of about $500{\AA}$ was 0.14${\mu}$. The fabricated p$^{+}$-n ultra shallow junction with Co/Ti bilayer silicide contact did not show any agglomeration or variation of sheet resistance value after post annealing at $850^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The boron concentration at the epitaxial CoSi$_{2}$/Si interface of the fabricated junction was about 6*10$6{\times}10^{19}$ / $\textrm{cm}^2$./TEX>.
