Wk. Lai et al., A NOVEL PROCESS TO FORM COBALT SILICIDED P(-SI GATES BY BF2+ IMPLANTATION INTO BILAYERED COSI() POLY)A-SI FILMS AND SUBSEQUENT ANNEAL/, IEEE electron device letters, 19(7), 1998, pp. 259-261
A novel process that implants BF2+ ions into thin bilayered CoSi/a-Si
films has been shown to form cobalt silicided pf poly-Si gates with ex
cellent gate oxide integrity and very small flatband shift. The effect
s of not only using the CoSi layer as an implantation barrier but also
keeping the a-Si underlayer during the initial silicide formation bot
h significantly suppress the boron penetration through thin gate oxide
.
