S. Quilici et al., Micro-Raman analysis of the effects of post-silicidation thermal treatments on C54 TiSi2 formation in confined areas, SOL ST COMM, 109(3), 1999, pp. 141-143
The effects of different post-formation thermal annealings on the phase tra
nsition in TiSi2 patterned films were ivestigated. Results show that, whate
ver the thermal budget, a large number of small area structures remain in t
he highly resistive C49 phase. Data analysis shows that the C54 nucleation
site density is unaffected by an increase of the annealing temperature. (C)
