  • Abstract
    The thermal stability of Ni silicide was evaluated using post-silicidation annealing ambient such O2, N2, and 30 mTorr vacuum. Among the conditions, the thermal stability of NiSi was improved in 30 mTorr vacuum condition due to the maintenance of stable phases after post-silicidation annealing without combining oxygen. Moreover, abnormal oxidation on the As-doped Si was also suppressed in vacuum condition
