Abstract

We investigated the silicide formation in the Ni/epi-Si1-xC x systems. Ni films were deposited on epi-Si1-xC x/Si substrates by DC magnetron sputtering and processed at various temperatures. The sheet resistance of the silicide from the Ni/epi-Si 1-xCx systems was maintained at low values compared to Ni/Si systems. The stability of the silicide layer in Ni/epi-Si 1-xCx system is explained by the presence of the small amount of C in the Ni-silicide layer or at the grain boundaries.
