    Effects of Ion Metal Plasma (IMP) Titanium Deposition on Ti Silicide Formation

    Titanium disilicide obtained by direct interaction between Si and a deposited Ti layer is a choice for low- resistance gate interconnections and source and drain areas. The properties of the TiSi2 film can be inf...
