Schottky-barrier height tuning by means of ion implantation into preformed silicide films followed by drive-in anneal

• An experimental study on Schottky-barrier height (SBH) tuning using ion implantation followed by drive-in anneal of As, B, In, and P in preformed NiSi and PtSi films is presented. Measured on B-implanted NiSi and PtSi Schottky diodes, the effective SBH on n-type Si is altered to similar to 1.0 eV. For As- and P-implanted diodes, the SBH on p-type Si can be tuned to around 0.9 eV The process window for the most pronounced SBH modification is dopant dependent.
