Abstract
The kinetics of Pt-silicide formation during rapid thermal annealing has been studied as a function of silicon-substrate orientation ((111), (011), and (001)) and type of pre-implanted impurity in the silicon substrate (As, Kr, and Ge). Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, and four-point probe resistivity measurements were used for this investigation. In the case of Pt2Si growth, both an orientation and impurity dependence was observed; the PtSi growth, however, was found to be independent of these parameters except in the case of As pre-implantation for which a retardation was found.
