Abstract: A TiNxOy/TiSi2 bilayer structure is formed simultaneously for Ti film on Si by rapid thermal annealing at 900℃ for 15s in highly pure NH3. The effectiveness of TiNxOy as a diffusion barrier layer for Al has been studied. Eesults show that the Al/TiNxOy/TiSi2/Si contact system has good thermal stability, when Bintered in N2, up to 550℃ for 30min.

Key words: diffusion barrier, rapid thermal annealing, titanium silicide
