Abstract

MicroRaman measurements on titanium silicide films grown on single-crystal and polycrystalline silicon substrates doped with As, BF2 and P have been performed. The data collected on patterns of different areas and shapes, but comparable doping level show that the doping has negligible effects both on C54 nucleation center density and on activation energy for the C49/C54 phase transition. On the contrary, substrate strongly affects the C54 growth rate, ruling the ability of the C54 phase to propagate after the nucleation.
