Abstract

Diffusion-reaction analysis of a two step process in which a tungsten silicide barrier layer is deposited in a rectangular trench by low pressure dichlorosilane reduction of tungsten hexafluoride followed by a complete tungsten fill by low pressure hydrogen reduction of tungsten hexafluoride reveals that high step coverage and high deposition rate can be readily achieved with logical selection of process parameters. This fact, coupled with the potential for accomplishing these deposition steps in the same single wafer reactor, suggests that this two step process may offer a high throughput alternative to blanket tungsten deposition by silane reduction.
