Abstract

Experimental analysis, modeling and simulation of the formation and electrical characterization of TiSi2/n+/p-Si shallow junctions are presented here. The formation of shallow n+-p junction, by ion implantation of As+ through Ti films evaporated on p-Si substrates followed by Rapid Thermal Annealing ( RTA ) and conventional furnace annealing has been performed in these experiments. Structural techniques such as Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy ( SIMS ) and Rutherford Backscattering spectroscopy ( RBS ) experiments have been employed to characterize the devices, and RUMP simulator was used to analyze and interpret the RBS data. Current-voltage characteristics have been simulated using PISCES simulator.
