Abstract

In this paper, the influence of Si surface damage on the NiSi formation has been characterized. The silicon surface is damaged using ion beam type spotter. Then, the effect of H2 anneal and TiN capping layer on the damaged has also been analyzed. The sheet resistance of NiSi formed on damaged Si increased rapidly as the damaging time increases while thermal stability of damaged NiSi was stabler than the undamaged one. In the case when H\ulcorner anneal and TiN capping layer were applied together, the characteristics of NiSi shows a little improvement of the sheet resistance.
