Abstract

We investigated the sheet resistance properties of tungsten nitride thin films deposited by RF and DC sputtering system. It deposited at various conditions that determine the sheet resistance. The properties of the sheet resistance of these films were measured under various conditions. Sheet resistance analysed under the flow rate of the argon gas and contents of nitrogen from nitrogen-argon gas mixtures. We found that these sheet resistance were largely depend on the temperature of substrate, gas flow rate and RF power. Very high and low sheet resistance of tungsten films obtained by DC sputtering. As the increase of contents of nitrogen gas obtained from nitrogen-argon gas mixture, tungsten nitride thin films deposited by the reactive DC sputtering and the sheet resistance of these films were increased.
