摘要:
We report, in this letter, the formation of TiSi2 by direct Ti-ion implantation into silicon wafers using a metal vapor vacuum arc ion source. Implantation was conducted by 80 KeV Ti ions to a dose of 5×1017/cm2 with various ion current densities. When the ion current density exceeded 100 μA/cm2, the equilibrium TiSi2 of the C54 structure was uniquely formed. Additional evidence of the formation of C54-TiSi2 was given by the resistivity measurements, i.e., the sheet resistivity was below 3.0 Ω/. The formation mechanism is also discussed in terms of the beam heating effect during implantation.
