Abstract

See full text

A method for inhibiting out-diffusion of dopants from polycrystalline or single crystal silicon substrates of high speed semiconductor devices into metal silicide conductive layers disposed on the substrate comprises interposing a refractory metal nitride layer between the doped silicon substrate and the refractory metal silicide conductive layer. Dopant out-diffusion is further retarded, and contact resistance lowered, by adding a thin layer of refractory metal between the refractory metal nitride layer and the silicon substrate.
