Low temperature physical-chemical vapor deposition of Ti-Si-N-O barrier films. Electrochemical and solid state letters, 9(3). | Series/Report no.: | Electrochemical and solid state letters | Abstract: | Ti-Si-N-O films were grown by radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering of a titanium target with nitrogen and silane gases introduced at a temperature of 40°C. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results show that Ti-N, Si-N, Ti-Si, Ti-O, Si-O, and Si-N-O compounds are formed. High-resolution-transmission-electron-microscopy reveals that the film consists of Ti-N, Si-N, Ti-Si nanocrystals embedded in an amorphous Ti-O, Si-O, and Si-N-O matrix. This type of microstructure gives rise to very high stability against copper diffusion under bias temperature stressing (BTS) compared to binary barrier materials. The BTS result shows that Ti24Si12N35O29 film can effectively block copper ion diffusion for up to 200°C at 0.5 MV/cm. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/90572 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/7700 |
