Method and Structure of Forming Silicide and Diffusion Barrier Layer With Direct Deposited Film on Silicon

摘要

A semiconductor device or a photovoltaic cell having a contact structure, which includes a silicon (Si) substrate; a metal alloy layer deposited on the silicon substrate; a metal silicide layer and a diffusion layer formed simultaneously from thermal annealing the metal alloy layer; and a metal layer deposited on the metal silicide and barrier layers.
