Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor process for forming an electroconductive film having small surface roughness and no continuous particle boundary. SOLUTION: The electroconductive film 11 comprises two or more different metal nitrides 21, 22 and 23, which are deposited on a substrate 10. Thereby, the electroconductive film 11 acquires a structure consisting of particles with smaller sizes than those in an electroconductive film produced from only titanium nitride. The electroconductive film 11 also acquires a smoother surface and smaller thickness than those of a film made of pure titanium nitride. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
In a method for producing a conductive layer a substrate is provided. On the substrate, a layer includes at least two different metal nitrides. In one embodiment, on a surface of the substrate a first metal nitride layer is deposited, followed by a second metal nitride layer formed thereon. A third metal layer is then deposited on a surface of the second metal nitride layer.
Abstract:
The method involves forming a metal oxide layer (302) and a metal nitride layer (303). The metal nitride layer is oxidized in order to form another metal oxide layer. The layer sequence is heated in order to form a mixing layer from the two metal oxide layers. The metal oxide layer (302) is made of aluminum oxide and the metal nitride layer is made of titanium nitride. The metal oxide and the metal nitride layers are formed by an atomic layer deposition process.
