Abstract

This paper reports the dependence on the concentration of the germanium (Ge) in polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) cap layer on the polycrystalline silicon germanium (poly-SiGe) for low resistivity cobalt disilicide (CoSi2) formation. Particularly, we investigate the relationship between sheet resistance of CoSi2 films and concentration of Ge in cap-Si layer. The excellent value of sheet resistance (∼6 / ) is achieved by Ge concentration in cap-Si layer controlled at 2% or less for 90nm length CoSi2/poly-Si/poly-SiGe gate structure. This result indicates that conventional Co silicide process technology can be readily used even for poly-SiGe gate structure.
