  • Abstract
    This paper reports a new ALD-TiN/CoSi2 contact plug process for giga-bit scale DRAM bit-line contacts. Using this technology, we obtained a low contact resistance of 315Ω/cnt for BL/N+ and 1518Ω/cnt for BL/P+ in 0.16 μm contacts, as well as a crack-free integration scheme and low level of defect density.
