When a Ta layer is deposited at the SiTi interface a new phase has been detected, i.e., the TiSi2 C40. The C40C54 transformation kinetics and the film morphology are consistent with an increase of the nucleation density with respect to the C49C54 transition. The activation energies for the nucleation rate (4.2±0.3 eV) and the growth velocity (4.0±0.4 eV) have been obtained from the in situ sheet resistance and the transmission electron microscopy results. These results show that the process with a Ta layer at the TiSi interface has a greater scalability with respect to the standard TiSi2 process.

Abstract
When a Ta layer is deposited at the SiTi interface a new phase has been detected, i.e., the TiSi2 C40. The C40C54 transformation kinetics and the film morphology are consistent with an increase of the nucleation density with respect to the C49C54 transition. The activation energies for the nucleation rate (4.2±0.3 eV) and the growth velocity (4.0±0.4 eV) have been obtained from the in situ sheet resistance and the transmission electron microscopy results. These results show that the process with a Ta layer at the TiSi interface has a greater scalability with respect to the standard TiSi2 process.File in questo prodotto:
