AbstractConventional and Rapid Thermal Annealing of Semi-Insulating Polycrystalline Silicon layers obtained by Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) from disilane Si2H6 have been performed in order to determine the structural modifications induced on the layers by these thermal treatments. The study of these modifications has been carried out by several analysis methods like FTIR, XPS, TEM, RAMAN and ellipsometry. The results obtained are presented, contrasted and discussed in this work.

ABSTRACTThe formation of titanium suicide over polycrystalline silicon has been investigated after rapid thermal annealing treatment in nitrogen and argon ambients. After rapid thermal annealing 300 Å thick titanium overlayer at 900°C for 10 seconds, the sheet resistance of about 3 Ω/□ was achieved, which decreased to 2 Ω/□ after 1100°C / 10s treatment. The TiSi2 Phase was found to be stable after RTA treatments up to 1100°C /10s with no or negligible migration of titanium along the grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicon. In the nitrogen ambient, an external layer (titanium rich, mixture of titanium oxide and nitride) was observed to form after the RTA treatment, but the surface was found clean in the argon ambient.

ABSTRACTRapid thermal annealing was shown by EBIC to increase the minority-carrier diffusion length in cast polycrystalline silicon. The beneficial effect is due to a deactivation of intragrain defects (mainly dislocations) and is stable against post-RTA annealing up to at least 600 °C/ 10 min.
