Abstract

A method for deposition of thin conductive layers of low resistivity titanium silicide. The method comprises the co-deposition of titanium and silicon by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at a low temperature. An anneal above the deposition temperature reduces the layer resistivity, making the layer especially suitable for microelectronic applications.
