Abstract

Thermal stability of nickel monosilicide (NiSi) on single crystalline silicon (c-Si), poly-crystalline silicon (poly-Si) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) has been investigated. NiSi is stable and can show low resistivity on c-Si and poly-Si up to around 700°C forming gas anneal (FGA), but is quite unstable on a-Si substrate even after corresponding annealing at only 400°C. However, NiSi pure gate formed on poly-Si and a-Si films are both found to be quite stable with temperature up to 1000°C FGA and on 1000 Å gate oxide.
