Abstract

TaN and TiN films were deposited by remote plasma at. layer deposition (ALD) using the combinations of Ta(N(CH3)2)5 precursor and H2 plasma and TiCl4 precursor and H2-N2 plasma, resp. Both the TaN and TiN films had a cubic phase compn. and films with a relatively low resistivity (TaN: 380 micro W cm; TiN: 150 micro W cm) were obtained. Dissimilar from the TiN properties, the material properties of the TaN films were found to depend strongly on the plasma conditions. Preliminary tests were carried out revealing the potential of the TaN and TiN films as copper and lithium diffusion barriers.
