摘要

We have studied the kinetics of NiSi agglomeration and NiSi_2 phase formation during heating of NiSi on Si, using simultaneous in situ measurements of resistance, light scattering and x-ray diffraction. NiSi is a desirable contact to Si because of its low resistivity, limited Si consumption and low formation temperature. However, the formation of the higher resistivity phase NiSi_2 must be avoided for device applications. Ni thin films 5 to 30 nm thick were deposited on substrates of poly-Si and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and were studied using heating rates from 0.3 to 27 ℃/s. At low heating rates and for the thinnest films studied, NiSi agglomeration precedes NiSi_2 nucleation by as much as 350℃. The agglomeration temperature decreases with decreasing film thickness and linewidth. Once the film is agglomerated, the formation of NiSi_2 is delayed to higher temperature by its low nucleation site density and decreased contact area. We conclude that agglomeration is the primary failure mechanism limiting the morphological stability of NiSi as a contact material to Si devices.
