Popis: The TiSi2 local wiring technology has been newly characterized from the viewpoints of dopant interdiffusion and power reduction. It was found that only the p+/n junction degrades when TiSi2 local wiring connects the n+ layer and p+ layer. The results of electrical measurements using a set of new test patterns suggest the reason to be that boron does not diffuse from TiSi2 to Si due to the high efficiency of TiB formation. More than a 20% reduction in power dissipation at a low-power supply voltage of 1 V was obtained, which demonstrates that the scheme is promising for low-power sub-half-micron complementary metal oxide semiconductor.
