Abstract

We investigate the effect of a Mo interlayer on the thermal stability of nickel suicides. Glancing angle x-ray diffraction results show that NiSi is transformed into NiSi₂ at temperatures in excess of 700°C, at which the tetragonal MoSi₂ phase is also formed. It is shown that the Mo layer moves toward the surface region, when annealed at temperatures in excess of 500°C. It is also shown that the use of the interlayer is effective in improving the surface morphology of the suicide films and the uniformity of the silicide/Si interface.
