Abstract

We investigated the modulation of Schottky barrier height (Φb) of Ni silicide by inserting an Er layer between Si (100) substrate and Ni layer before silicidation annealing. Φb for electrons of NiSi was found to be decreased by using this technique. The n-channel SB-MOSFETs with source/drain contacts formed by this technique were fabricated and effects of the barrier lowering was observed on the transistor characteristics.
