The key feature of this study is to incorporate N2 + implant prior to Ni sputtering on the poly-Si gate and source/drain regions. The results show that the incorporation of the presilicide N2 + implant is able to suppress agglomeration in the Ni silicide films up to 900°C and enhance the phase stabi...
