Abstract

In this paper, we present the microstructural evolution of silicide phase with TiNxSi structure. The nitrogen atoms in the TiNx film limites the available Ti atoms that react with Si substrate to form silicide. Hence, the thickness of Ti-Si amorphous interlayer (a-interlayer) was much thinner in comparison with that from pure Ti film after annealing (RTA) at 500°C. Upon RTA at above 600°C, at first thin epitaxial C49-TiSi2 was formed with an extremely uniform thickness on Si(100) substrate. Also the stable character of the epitaxial C49-TiSi2 supress the structure transformation of TiSi2 from C49 to C54.
