However, the increased leakage current for a very shallow p-n junction is a serious problem. We clarified a new leakage mechanism of the Co salicided junction. Measurements and simulated results of the leakage current revealed that the leakage current flows from many localized points. These leakage points were caused by CoSi spikes growing from the silicide film, which we observed by TEM analysis. We then optimized the Co salicide process conditions to reduce the leakage current in the ultra-shallow junctions of deep-submicron CMOS devices.","PeriodicalId":137564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limitations imposed in the past by the circuit-based readout techniques are avoided by using a readout CCD. This paper describes selected aspects of the system design.","PeriodicalId":137564,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123611138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
