Abstract
This paper presents a thin amorphous Si (a-Si) on Ti as an oxidation-resistant material for a self-aligned TiSi2 process. It is shown that a thin a-Si over Ti film will greatly suppress the interaction between Ti and ambient gases (N2 and O2 ) during the thermal TiSi2 formation cycle in conventional N2 furnance while maintaining satisfactory self-aligned property after silicidation at a temperature below 630°C.
