Abstract

In this investigation, we report on detailed microstructural characteristics of LPCVD WSi 2 films deposited on doped/undoped polysilicon and subjected to boron and phosphorus implantation and implant activation at temperatures up to 1100° C. The polysilicon films were doped with phosphorus using a POC13 source to obtain a sheet resistance of ∼ 25 Ω/ and the films were coated with about 300nm of Si rich (Si:W atomic ratio 2.6) LPCVD WSi2. The microstructures of as-deposited and high temperature annealed polycide films were studied in detail using TEM. The electrical sheet resistances were measured using four-point probes. The initial polysilicon doping level, silicide annealing conditions, subsequent implant into the polycide, and implant activation all had profound effects on the microstructural characteristics of both the silicide and polysilicon.
