摘要:
A self-aligned silicide method for integrated circuit and semiconductor device fabrication wherein a metal layer is formed over one or more silicon regions of a substrate and a barrier metal layer is formed over the metal layer using a chemical vapor deposition process. The temperature at which the chemical vapor deposition process is performed causes the metal layer to react with the one or more silicon regions of the substrate to form a metal-silicide film over each of the silicon regions.

摘要:
A process for reducing the thermal budget and enhancing stability in the thermal budget of a metal salicide process used in the formation of metal salicides on substrates, thus eliminating or reducing salicide spiking and junction leakage in microelectronic devices fabricated on the substrates. According to a typical embodiment, a substrate is cooled to a sub-processing temperature which is lower than the metal deposition processing temperature and the salicide-forming metal is deposited onto the reduced-temperature substrate.

A method for forming nickel silicide includes degassing a semiconductor substrate that includes a silicon surface. After the degassing operation, the substrate is cooled prior to a metal deposition process, during a metal deposition process, or both. The cooling suppresses the temperature of the substrate to a temperature less than the temperature required for the formation of nickel silicide. Nickel diffusion is minimized during the deposition process. After deposition, an annealing process is used to urge the formation of a uniform silicide film. In various embodiments, the metal film may include a binary phase alloy containing nickel and a further element.
