[PS-1-01] Amorphous Si-rich Mo silicide films for advanced source/drain contacts
For advanced CMOS, Molybdenum is now attracting attention as the alternative metal to W in source/drain contacts and local interconnect. This work reports that the electron Schottky barrier height was reduced to 0.48 eV at Mo/n-Si junctions by inserting a semimetal MoSin (n = 8) film. The SBH modulation effect was kept even after annealing up to at 700 °C. The MoSin film was formed with an excellent coverage by using MoF6 and SiH4, and then the Mo electrode was successively formed onto MoSin in the same deposition system. Thus, the MoSin film is promising as a contact material.
