Abstract

Raman Scattering as a technique for studying the formation of tungsten silicide is presented. The tungsten silicide films were formed by rapid thermally annealing tungsten films that were sputter deposited on silicon substrates. The Raman scattering data is correlated with data from resistivity measurements, Auger and Rutherford Backscattering measurements, and scanning electron microscopy.
