    Description: Wiley et al. (1982) have studied sputtered amorphous films of Nb-Ni, Mo-Ni, Si-W, and Si-Mo. Kung et al. (1984) have found that amorphous Ni-Mo films as diffusion barriers between multilayer metallizations on silicon demonstrate good electrical and thermal stability. In the present investigation, the Ni-W system was selected because it is similar to the Ni-Mo system. However, W has a higher silicide formation temperature than Mo. Attention is given to aspects of sample preparation, sample characterization, the interaction between amorphous Ni-W films and Si, the crystallization of amorphous Ni(36)W(64) films on SiO2, amorphous Ni-N-W films, silicide formation and phase separation, and the crystallization of amorphous Ni(36)W(64) and Ni(30)N(21)W(49) layers.

    Description: Recent experimental studies of the ion-mixing phenomenon are summarized. Ion mixing is differentiated from ion implantation and shown to be a useful technique for overcoming the sputter-dependent limitations of implantation processes. The fundamental physical principles of ion/solid interactions are explored. The basic experimental configurations currently in use are characterized: bilayered samples, multilayered samples, and samples with a thin marker layer. A table listing the binary systems (metal-semiconductor or metal-metal) which have been investigated using each configuration is presented. Results are discussed, and some sample data are plotted. The prospects for future application of ion mixing to the alteration of solid surface properties are considered. Practical applications are seen as restricted by economic considerations to the production of small, expensive components or to fields (such as the semiconductor industry) which already have facilities for ion implantation.

    Description: Measurements of sputtering yields and composition profiles have been carried out using backscattering spectrometry for samples of CrSi2 on Si irradiated wth 200-keV Xe ions. When the CrSi2 layer is thinner than the ion range, the sputtering yield ratio of Si to Cr increases from 3.5 for room-temperature irradiation to 65 at 290 C. For a thick sample, the corresponding increase is from 2.4 to 4.0 only. These changes are explained in terms of a rise in the Si surface concentration ot 290 C. The driving force for this process seems to be the establishment of stoichiometric CrSi2 compound. Transport of Si to the surface is by ion mixing in the thin sample and thermal diffusion through the thick layer.

    Description: The electrical characteristics of amorphous Fe-W contacts have been determined on both p-type and n-type silicon. The amorphous films were obtained by cosputtering from a composite target. Contact resistivities of 1 x 10 to the -7th and 2.8 x 10 to the -6th were measured on n(+) and p(+) silicon, respectively. These values remain constant after thermal treatment up to at least 500 C. A barrier height of 0.61 V was measured on n-type silicon.

    Description: This work extends the study of dopant-enhanced epitaxial regrowth rate of amorphized Si from the 100 to the 110 and 111 line orientations of Si. Boron and phosphorus dopants are considered. The annealing temperatures are 500 and 550 C. Phosphorus enhances the growth rates in all three orientations by a constant factor of 8.1 + or - 0.9. Boron produces a higher enhancement factor of 12.2 + or - 1.2, except in the case of 100. Implications of the results on various growth models are considered. The crystalline quality of regrown 111 layers is improved in the doped samples.

    Description: The formation of CrSi2 by ion mixing was studied as a function of temperature, silicide thickness and irradiated interface. Samples were prepared by annealing evaporated couples of Cr on Si and Si on Cr at 450 C for short times to form Si/CrSi2/Cr sandwiches. Xenon beams with energies up to 300 keV and fluences up to 8 x 10 to the 15th per sq cm were used for mixing at temperatures between 20 and 300 C. Penetrating only the Cr/CrSi2 interface at temperatures above 150 C induces further growth of the silicide as a uniform stoichiometric layer. The growth rate does not depend on the thickness of the initially formed silicide at least up to a thickness of 150 nm. The amount of growth depends linearly on the density of energy deposited at the interface. The growth is temperature dependent with an apparent activation energy of 0.2 eV. Irradiating only through the Si/CrSi2 interface does not induce silicide growth. It is concluded that the formation of CrSi2 by ion beam mixing is an interface-limited process and that the limiting reaction occurs at the Cr/CrSi2 interface.

    Description: The electrical characteristics of sputtered, amorphous Mo-Ni contacts have been measured on both p- and n-type Si, as functions of composition (30, 54, and 58 at. percent Mo). The contact resistivity on both p(+) and n(+) Si is in the 0.00000 ohm sq cm range. The barrier height for as-deposited samples varies between phi-bp = 0.47-0.42 V on p-type Si and between phi-bn = 0.63-0.68 V on n-type Si, as the composition of the amorphous layer goes from Ni-rich to Mo-rich. The sum phi-bp + phi-bn always equals 1.12 V, within experimental error. After thermal treatment at 500 C for 1/2 h, the contact resistivity changes by a factor of two or less, while the barrier height changes by at most approximately 0.05 V. In light of these results, the amorphous Mo-Ni film makes good ohmic contacts to silicon.

    Description: The effect of implanted oxygen impurities on the Ni/Ni2Si interface is investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, He-4(+) backscattering and O(d, alpha)-16 N-14 nuclear reactions. Oxygen dosages corresponding to concentrations of 1, 2, and 3 atomic percent were implanted into Ni films evaporated on Si substrates. The oxygen, nickel, and silicon core lines were monitored as a function of time during in situ growth of the Ni silicide to determine the chemical nature of the diffusion barrier which forms in the presence of oxygen impurities. Analysis of the Ni, Si, and O core levels demonstrates that the formation of SiO2 is responsible for the Ni diffusion barrier rather than Ni oxide or mixed oxides, such as Ni2SiO4. It is determined that 2.2 x 10 to the 16th O/qu cm is sufficient to prevent Ni diffusion under UHV annealing conditions.
