摘要
A plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition (PA-ALD) process of titanium nitride (TiN) using TiCl4 precursor dosing and H-2/N-2 plasma exposure is presented. In situ spectroscopic ellipsometry revealed a growth rate at 400 degrees C of similar to 0.7 angstrom/cycle independent of precursor dosing. Varying the plasma exposure time changed the stoichiometry [N]/[Ti] of the films within the range similar to 0.93-1.15. At 100 degrees C a relatively low chlorine impurity level (similar to 2 at. %) and low resistivity (similar to 200 mu Omega(.)cm) were obtained for a similar to 45 nm thick film. The growth rate was found to be considerably lower (similar to 0.3 angstrom/cycle) at this temperature. Using TEM imaging we found that PAALD TiN films can be deposited conformally in 20:1 aspect-ratio features (1.5 mu m width) but that the step coverage still needs to be improved, probably by a prolonged plasma exposure step.
