摘要
Diffusion barrier properties of TiN films to silicon and the Cu9Al4 compound have been studied using Auger electron spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that the TiN layer of 800 angstrom is effective as a diffusion barrier at 670-degrees-C. It is found that the reaction of Al in the compound with Ti in the barrier results in the failure of the system due to intermixing of elements at 700-degrees-C. The failure temperature of 700-degrees-C, which is higher than that of aluminum or copper metallization, is due to the stability of the Cu9Al4 compound itself.
