Abstract

The advancement of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology towards sub- 100nm device dimensions presents several technical difficulties. Nanoscaling in MOS devices is specifically governed by difficulties in the formation of ultrashallow junctions for the source/drain regions with the requirement of low resistance and low leakage currents. The use of a silicide (forming Schottky contacts at the source and drain) instead of the conventional ion implanted Si for the contacts allows a reduction in the contact area to be made, due to lower serial resistance per unit area of the silicide. According to the specific contact resistance dependence on the Schottky barrier height (ΦSB) and active dopant concentration (ND),
