Abstract

Micro-Raman spectroscopy and emission microscopy are used to study the crystallographic phase of 0.25 μm wide TiSi2 lines. It is demonstrated that these techniques allow non-destructive mapping of the local phase of TiSi2. The results show that there is a direct correlation between the resistance variation of these lines and the local occurrence of the high resistivity C49 phase of TiSi2 in the lines.
