Abstract

Rapid thermal annealing is used to form cobalt silicide directly on unimplanted as well as B, As, and P implanted wafers. The films are characterized by sheet resistance, X-ray diffraction, SEM, SIMS, and contact resistance measurements. The direct silicidation of cobalt on Si by rapid thermal annealing yields smooth, low resistivity films with minimal dopant redistribution.
