Abstract: | We report the first integration of a novel solid Antimony (Sb) segregation (SSbS) process in a transistor fabrication flow. A thin solid Sb layer, which acts as a large source of n-type dopants, was deposited beneath a metallic nickel layer prior to source-drain silicidation. Following nickel silicidation, a very high concentration of Sb was incorporated at the NiSi/Si interface. The SSbS process is demonstrated to reduce the effective Schottky barrier (SB) height and parasitic series resistance in an n-channel field-effect transistor, leading to enhanced drive current performance without degradation in the OFF-state leakage current. Performance enhancement is also maintained when the supply voltage is reduced from 1.3 to 0.8 V. © 2008 IEEE. |
