-280SiH4-WF6 Gas-Phase Nucleated Tungsten as an Adhesion Layer in Blanket Chemical Vapor Deposition for Ultralarge Scale Integration.-The deposition rate, step coverage, and resistivity of a thin W film, nucleated by an in situ low-pressure SiH4-WF6 gas phase reaction are studied with regard to an application as adhesion layer replacing TiN in a blanket CVD-W process. The deposition rates ranging from 360 to 3000 nm/min increase with increasing deposition pressure and temperature and fall to zero below 150 • C and at a SiH4/WF6 flow ratio below 1.6. The resistivity of 167 µΩ cm is comparable to that of TiN. Above 200 • C the film exhibits a good adhesive strength. A two-step deposition technique is developed including formation of the adhesive layer followed by a typical CVD-W process to obtain a thick W film. -(CHANG, K.-M.; YEH, T.-H.; WANG, S.-W.; LI, C.-H.; J.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
