Effect of $BF_2$ Dopant on the Formation of Ti-Polycide

$BF_2$ Dopant가 Titanium Polycide 형성에 미치는 영향

To take advantage of Ti-polycide, when it is contacted with both n+ and p+ active area of silicon, the effects of BF$_2$ on the formation of Ti-silicide were investigated with RTA temperature and dopant concentration. The intermediate phase C49 TiSi$_2$ appeared at $650^{\circ}C$ and the stable phase C54 TiSi2 was formed at $700^{\circ}C$. And the formation of Ti-silicide was hindered by BF$_2$ doping and this trend was decreased with increasing temperature. The out-diffusion phenomena of BF$_2$ into Ti silicide were not observed. And significantly, the native oxide was a chief factor preventing the formation of Ti-silicides.
