Abstract(in English) The salicide module process was improved in order to obtain low uniform sheet resistance in narrow regions of a gate area with high concentration of N^+ or P^+ -type dopant. For dual-gate CMOS application, a low depletion condition of the gate electrode is necessary by the high content of the dopant. However, it is impossible to uniformly reduce the sheet resistance of 71 salicide as well as of Co salicide in the gate. We considered the mechanism of the formation of salicide with low sheet resistance under the condition of a high concentration of doped arsenic. Applying the salicide process with an optimized pretreatment method, low sheet resistance and low depletion condition of the gate were obtained. With a Co/Ti capping process (Ti as a capping layer), thermal stability of the Co salicide (850℃) and low junction leakage currents were obtained. The optimized Co salicide module process is applicable to dual-gate CMOS.
