Abstract

Studies of the electrical and structural properties of TiSi2 films formed during the fabrication of shallow junctions by ion implanting As+ into p–Si through Ti films are reported here. Electrical measurements of the temperature dependent specific contact resistance and structural measurements such as transmission electron microscopy have been performed on these device structures. The specific contact resistance is seen to decrease with increasing measurement temperature. These studies have been carried out on furnace and rapid thermally annealed films.
