Abstract :
In this study, we report Ni silicide and germanide technology for ohmic contacts and metal gates in MOSFET applications. We have systematically investigated the crystalline structures and the electrical properties of NiSi and Ni(Si1-alphaGe;alpha) layers formed on Si and Si1-x-yGexCy, respectively. We have also characterized Ni germanides for metal gates with various metal-germanium composition ratios
