Abstract

A new formation method for an ultra-low resistivity contact and structural analysis are discussed. In this study, a minimum contact resistivity of 6.9× 10−9 Ω·cm2 has been successfully obtained in an AlSi(lwt%)Cu(0.5wt%) alloy / Si system by using heavy dose ion implantations of Ge and B combined with low temperature annealing as low as 550°C. Structural analysis on the Si surface layer has been carried out. As a result, it was found that the crystal lattice was expanded in-plane by 6% in the Si layer near the surface because of the high concentration of Ge and no relaxation of lattice strain at such a low temperature. It was also found that super-saturation of B was stably formed in this system. An ultra-low resistivity contact is considered to be a result of these combined effects.
