Abstract :
In this study, we report quick characterization methods of thin TiSi/sub 2/ films using spectroscopic ellipsometry and Thermal Wave Analysis (TWA). The optical as well as the electrical properties of TiSi/sub 2/ films formed using pre-amorphization implantation and the conventional technique (without pre-amorphization) were compared. The film morphology was analyzed with an atomic force microscope.
