Graphenic Carbon: A Novel Material to Improve the Reliability of Metal-Silicon Contacts

Contact resistance and thermal degradation of metal-silicon contacts are major challenges in nanoscale CMOS as well as in power device applications. Titanium silicide (TiSi) is commonly used to establish low-barrier height contacts to silicon, in state-of-the-art FinFETs or Schottky diodes. But the...
