Abstract

A Kelvin contact resistance test structure has been developed for accurate and direct measurement of highly-doped, shallow n+ and p+ junctions, which may be self-aligned to the contact window. The structure is easily integrated in many IC-processes. Results are presented for high-dose arsenic implantations, where excimer laser annealing of the contact windows yields contact resistivities below 10-7 Ωcm2.
