摘要
Cobalt and cobalt silicide layers were deposited by OMCVD using the Co precursors Co(C5H5)2, Co2(CO)8, Co(C5H5)(CO)2 and CoCF3(CO)4, and the Si precursors SiH4 and Si2H6. Strongly textured (111)-beta Co layers were grown from Co(C5H5)2, Co(C5H5)(CO)2 and CoCF3(CO)4 at temperatures above 300-degrees-C in H2 at atmospheric pressure. Growth from Co(C5H5)2 is inhibited on Si substrates. For temperatures greater-than-or-equal-to 600-degrees-C to Co layers deposited from Co(C5H5)(CO)2 react with the Si(100) substrate to form CoSi2(00l) aligned with the substrate orientation. Co2(CO)8 gives amorphous Co between 200 and 300-degrees-C. The upper temperature is set by the occurrence of homogeneous gas-phase reactions at atmospheric reactor pressure. Cobalt silicide layers can be grown from Co2(CO)8 and (di)silane at temperatures between 200 and 400-degrees-C. The Co/Si ratio in the layers decreases with increasing temperature and is independent of the gas-phase Co/Si ratio. Stoichiometric CoSi2 is obtained at approximately 300-degrees-C. Both Co(C5H5)2 and Co(C5H5)(CO)2 react with (di)silane, leading to the incorporation of carbon in the layer. The Co/Si ratio and the carbon content in the layers are practically independent of the deposition conditions. With CoCF3(CO)4 no contamination-free silicide could be grown. The carbon incorporation with Co(C5H5)2 and Co(C5H5)(CO)2 can be avoided by a pulsed growth method in which the Co precursor and the Si precursor are introduced alternately into the reactor. With Co(C5H5)2 the growth is then inhibited on Si substrates.
