摘要
Formation process of CoSi2 on Si(001) was investigated with in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction analysis for developing a self-aligned silicide (salicide) process of advanced silicon transistors. A thin Co layer deposited onto a wet chemically oxidized Si(001) surface silicided at 550degreesC to form epitaxial CoSi2(001) without developing polycrystalline subsilicide phase. The oxide remained on the surface up to 750 C and kept the surface flat until its evaporation. It was thus revealed that chemically formed thin oxide on Si(001) surface is an effective reaction control layer that acts as a reaction barrier to Co/Si subsilicide formation and as a kinematical barrier to surface migration of growing species. These conditions are necessary for fabricating flat and thin epitaxial CoSi2 layers. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
