Abstract

A 15rm-thick Ti-layer incorporated between Pt and Si was found to be effective in improving the structures of PtSi/Si interface. The roles of Ti-layer were to react with native oxides on the Si substrate and to form Ti-O solid solutions instead of Ti oxides which act as diffusion barrier and inhibit the reactions between Pt and Si. Auger depth profiling gave evidence that Ti and O moved outward as platinum suicides were formed. A smooth PtSi/Si interface was revealed by the transmission electron microscope.
