    摘要: A method for formation of a segregated interfacial dopant layer at a junction between a semiconductor material and a silicide layer includes depositing a doped metal layer over the semiconductor material; annealing the doped metal layer and the semiconductor material, wherein the anneal causes a portion of the doped metal layer and a portion of the semiconductor material to react to form the silicide layer on the semiconductor material, and wherein the anneal further causes the segregated interfacial dopant layer to form between the semiconductor material and the silicide layer, the segregated interfacial dopant layer comprising dopants from the doped metal layer; and removing an unreacted portion of the doped metal layer from the silicide layer.

    摘要: A method for forming germano-silicide contacts atop a Ge-containing layer that is more resistant to etching than are conventional silicide contacts that are formed from a pure metal is provided. The method of the present invention includes first providing a structure which comprises a plurality of gate regions located atop a Ge-containing substrate having source/drain regions therein. After this step of the present invention, a Si-containing metal layer is formed atop the said Ge-containing substrate. In areas that are exposed, the Ge-containing substrate is in contact with the Si-containing metal layer. Annealing is then performed to form a germano-silicide compound in the regions in which the Si-containing metal layer and the Ge-containing substrate are in contact; and thereafter, any unreacted Si-containing metal layer is removed from the structure using a selective etch process. In some embodiments, an additional annealing step can follow the removal step. The method of the present invention provides a structure having a germano-silicide contact layer atop a Ge-containing substrate, wherein the germano-silicide contact layer contains more Si than the underlying Ge-containing substrate.

    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.
