Abstract:
A pair of complementary CJIGFETs (100 and 160) are created from a body of semiconductor material (102 and 104). Each CJIGFET is formed with (a) a pair of laterally separated source/drain zones (112 and 114 or 172 and 174) situated along the upper surface of the semiconductor body, (b) a channel region (110 or 170) extending between the source/drain zones, and (c) a gate electrode (118 or 178) overlying, and electrically insulated from, the channel region. The gate electrode of each CJIGFET has a Fermi energy level within 0.3 ev of the middle of the energy band gap of the semiconductor material. One of the transistors typically conducts current according to a field-induced-channel mode while the other transistor conducts current according to a metallurgical-channel mode. The magnitude of the threshold voltage for each CJIGFET is normally no more than 0.5 V.

Abstract:
Sheet resistance of titanium silicide formed on silicon is diminished by enhancing formation of nucleation sites for the C-54 phase. Fluorine is introduced into silicon by either the implantation of BF.sub.2 or F, followed by creation of a cap oxide over the silicon surface. During subsequent annealing, fluorine outgasses, forming bubbles in the silicon. Upon removal of the cap oxide, the gas escapes and the silicon surface is pitted and uneven, enhancing subsequent formation of C-54 nucleation sites.
