Abstract
Concentration distributions of fluorine in low-pressure chemical vapor deposited W/(100)Si structures have been studied by the nuclear resonance broadening technique through the reaction 19F( p,αγ)16O. In unannealed structures the total fluorine content (4.8×1015 at. cm−2) was chiefly concentrated around the W/Si interface. No loss or redistribution of fluorine was observed on annealing at a temperature of 600 °C or below where no silicide formation took place. About 20% reduction of the fluorine content was observed after annealing at 700 °C and above where WSi2 formation occurred. No evidence of fluorine diffusion into the silicon substrate was seen for annealing up to 900 °C for 1 h.Keywords
