摘要
Experimental and theoretical results are reported on the use of monochromatic ellipsometry to measure the thickness of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and titanium (Ti) overlayers and of combined a-Si/Ti overlayers on crystalline silicon (c-Si) substrates. Accurate thickness monitoring of these overlayer structures is very important for the formation of titanium silicide straps to be used as an interconnect in integrated circuit technology. The presence of an intermediate Ti film between the a-Si and the c-Si is shown to considerably enhance the ellipsometric sensitivity to variations in a-Si thickness.
