Abstract
New effect of titanium(Ti) capping layer on cobalt (Co) suicide formation, which is promising for salicidation applications in deep sub-quarter micron devices, was investigated. TEM, SIMS, and XRD data suggest that Ti on top of the cobalt layer diffuses into the Co/Si interface and dissociates the thin silicon oxide at the interface during RTA. As a result, with a Co/Ti process, the sensitivity of Co salicide process to surface condition could be minimized, which gives a larger process window to fabricate deep sub-quarter micron devices.
