Abstract

The $TiN/TiSi_2$ bilayer has been studied for contact barrier layer at ULSI recently. The $TiN/TiSi_2$ bilayer was formed by RTA in $NH_3$ ambient simultaneously after the Ti film was deposited on silicon substrate. In this paper, properties of $TiN/TiSi_2$ bilayer was evaluated according to $BF_2$ dopant concentration and dopant redistribution in $TiN/TiSi_2$ bilayer was also analyzed. In this experiment, the composition and structure of $TiN/TiSi_2$ bilayer were constant even though dopant concentration increased but silicide growth rate decreased. Boron atoms were redistributed within TiN film and at $TiSi_2Si$ interface during the bilayer formation.
