Non-selective tungsten chemical-vapor deposition using Tungsten hexacarbonyl

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6932657

We have used tungsten hexacarbonyl to deposit thin (<1000 A) non-selective tungsten films on silicon and silicon dioxide at 550/sup 0/C. Thicker (greater than or equal to1 micron) tungsten films were then deposited using film as an adhesion layer. Films grown in this manner have excellent adhesion to SiO/sub 2/, essentially 100% step coverage, and good resistivity (7.5--14 ..mu cap omega..-cm). Samples could be transferred under vacuum from the deposition chamber to a UHV chamber equipped with Auger spectroscopy, thus allowing surface and interface properties of the tungsten films to be studied at the initial stages of growth. No evidence was found for a stoichiometric tungsten oxide or tungsten silicide at the W/SiO/sub 2/ interface.
