J. Teichert et al., Raman investigation of lattice defects in the CoSi2 synthesis using focused ion beam implantation, MICROEL ENG, 50(1-4), 2000, pp. 187-192
CoSi2 layers were produced by 70 keV Co focused ion implantation into Si(11
1). Within a comparative study the CoSi2 layer quality and implantation dam
age were investigated as a function of pixel dwell-time and substrate tempe
rature. Irradiation damage measurements were done by micro-Raman analysis.
The results suggest that the dwell-time dependence of the CoSi2 layer forma
tion - continuous layers for short and disrupted ones for long dwell-times
- is caused by an accordant transition from crystalline to amorphous silico
