Lateral and cross-sectional cobalt distributions in cobalt suicide patterns were directly observed by RBS-mapping and RBS-tomography methods. Comparison between arsenic-implanted (200 keV, 7 ×1015 As+ cm2) and unimplanted patterns revealed that ion beam mixing by arsenic implantation suppressed the lateral growth of cobalt suicide during rapid thermal annealing at 1000°C for 1 s. © 1992.
