摘要
In this work the low-temperature low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) of W-Si-N compounds in the WF6-NF3-SiH4-Ar system is presented. Layers were deposited on oxidised Si-wafers at 385 and 250 degreesC. Thermodynamical calculations for the WF6:NF3:SiH4:Ar system at different ratios of gas components were made. Simultaneously an experimental study was performed at different deposition conditions. At 385 degreesC, crystalline layers, and at 250 degreesC, amorphous layers with smooth surfaces were obtained under several conditions. The resistivity of W-Si-N layers deposited at 385 degreesC decreases from 3000 mu Omega cm to 550 mu Omega cm as the W/N ratio increases from 1.3 to 10.2. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
