Abstract

Several issues associated with the Silicide-As-Diffusion-Source (SADS) process were studied for ultra shallow junction fabrication using TiSi2, CoSi2, NiSi, Pd2Si and PtSi. It was found that grain boundary diffusion in the silicides in combination with a high implant dose may be effective in supplying dopant to the silicide/silicon interface, to thereby maintain a high interface concentration. The diffusion of both boron and arsenic from silicide into silicon was seen to be enhanced over conventional diffusion in Si. The stability time limit was found to have an activation energy of approximately 5 eV in CoSi2, 3.5eV in TiSi2 and 3.1 eV in PtSi. All SADS diodes except TiS2 As+, or CoSi2 and PtSi B+ junctions showed high reverse current.
