Abstract:
A substrate processing method is described for forming a titanium nitride material that may be used for superconducting metallization or work function adjustment applications. The substrate processing method includes depositing by vapor phase deposition at least one monolayer of a first titanium nitride film on a substrate, and treating the first titanium nitride film with plasma excited hydrogen-containing gas, where the first titanium nitride film is polycrystalline and the treating increases the (200) crystallographic texture of the first titanium nitride film. The method further includes depositing by vapor phase deposition at least one monolayer of a second titanium nitride film on the treated at least one monolayer of the first titanium nitride film, and treating the at least one monolayer of the second titanium nitride film with plasma excited hydrogen-containing gas.
