摘要
The electrical, physical, and barrier properties of PVD refractory metal carbide (TiCx, TaCx, and WCx) thin films were investigated for Cu metallization. The 60-nm thick TiCx, TaCx, and WCx exhibit a resistivity of 1200, 385, and 227 mu Omega -cm, respectively. Although XRD and sheet resistance measurements indicate that the thermal stability of TaCx is about 50 similar to 100 degreesC higher, the maximum stability temperature based on the diode leakage data is about the same among all three materials.
