Amorphization induced metal-silicon contact formation
Abstract:
A method of forming a metal-silicon contact is provided. Embodiments include forming a metal layer over a substrate; forming an amorphous silicon (a-Si) capping layer over the metal layer; implanting ions to induce an athermal migration of the a-Si capping layer into the metal layer; and annealing the metal layer and the a-Si capping layer to form a metal silicide layer over the substrate.
