    摘要: The phase transformation temperature of a metal silicide layer formed overlying a silicon layer on a semiconductor wafer is lowered. First, a refractory metal is disposed proximate to the surface of the silicon layer, a precursory metal is deposited in a layer overlying the refractory metal, and the wafer is heated to a temperature sufficient to form the metal silicide from the precursory metal. The precursory metal may be a refractory metal, and is preferably titanium, tungsten, or cobalt. The concentration of the refractory metal at the surface of the silicon layer is preferably less than about 10.sup.17 atoms/cm.sup.3. The refractory metal may be Mo, Co, W, Ta, Nb, Ru, or Cr, and more preferably is Mo or Co. The heating step used to form the silicide is performed at a temperature less than about 700.degree. C., and more preferably between about 600.degree.-700.degree. C. Optionally, the wafer is annealed following the step of disposing the refractory metal and prior to the step of depositing the precursory metal layer. Preferably, this annealing step is performed at a wafer temperature of at least about 900.degree. C.

    摘要: A method and a device directed to the same, for stabilizing cobalt silicide/single crystal silicon, amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon, germanide/crystalline germanium, polycrystalline germanium structures or other semiconductor material structures so that high temperature processing steps (above 750.degree. C.) do not degrade the structural quality of the cobalt silicide/silicon structure. The steps of the method include forming a silicide or germanide by either reacting cobalt with the substrate material and/or the codeposition of the silicide or germanide on a substrate, adding a selective element, either platinum or nitrogen, into the cobalt and forming the silicide germanide by a standard annealing treatment. Alternatively, the cobalt silicide or cobalt germanide can be formed after the formation of the silicide or germanide respectively. As a result, the upper limit of the annealing temperature at which the silicide or germanide will structurally degrade is increased.

    摘要: A method for providing a low resistance non-agglomerated Ni monosilicide contact that is useful in semiconductor devices. Where the inventive method of fabricating a substantially non-agglomerated Ni alloy monosilicide comprises the steps of: forming a metal alloy layer over a portion of a Si-containing substrate, wherein said metal alloy layer comprises of Ni and one or multiple alloying additive(s), where said alloying additive is Ti, V, Ge, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Rh, Pd or Pt or mixtures thereof; annealing the metal alloy layer at a temperature to convert a portion of said metal alloy layer into a Ni alloy monosilicide layer; and removing remaining metal alloy layer not converted into Ni alloy monosilicide. The alloying additives are selected for phase stability and to retard agglomeration. The alloying additives most efficient in retarding agglomeration are most efficient in producing silicides with low sheet resistance.
