Low temperature formation of palladium silicided shallow junctions using implant through metal/silicide technology

摘要

A low temperature process for forming palladium silicided shallow junctions in which ions are implanted into a palladium or a palladium silicide layer over a silicon substrate. The impurities are driven into the silicon substrate during the formation or recrystallization of the palladium silicide layer, and a diffusion region with shallow junction is formed in the substrate.
