  • Abstract
    An extremely reliable tungsten silicide is formed by reacting tungsten film with silicon wafer. The tungsten film is RF magnetron sputter-deposited onto a silicon wafer and is subjected to a novel discharge treatment. As a result, an amorphous tungsten silicide is produced. An effective tungsten silicide with tetragonal end phase and low sheet resistance forms when the sample is suitably vacuum-annealed at high temperature
