Abstract

Change of the properties of selective CVD-W by $SiH_4$ reduction with the variation of deposition time and pressure has been investigated. The lime required for covering the who)to Si substrate by tungsten at $300^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 100mtorr is approximately 30 seconds. The film thickness tends to increase linearly in the early stage of deposition process and parabolically later, sheer resistance of the film tends to decrease rapidly initially, and slowly later with deposition time. Tungsten grain size does not change much, but grain boundary becomes hazy in the pressure range of 50-300mtorr. Also no ${\beta}-W$ but only ${\alpha}-W$ was found in this pressure range. The deposition rate and electrical resistivity of tungsten tend to increase wish increasing pressure. The results of AES analysis show that pressure does not much affect Si/W ratio of the tungsten film and silicidation at the W/Si interface.

$SiH_4$환원에 의한 선택성 CVD-W 공정에서 증착시간과 증착압력에 따른 W막 특성의 변화를 조사하였다. $300^{\circ}C$, 100mtorr이하에서 W막이 Si기판 전면에 증착되는 데에 약 30초의 시간이 걸렸고, 증착시간에 따라 막 두께는 초기에는 직선적으로, 나중에는 포물선적으로 증가하였으며, 면저항은 초기에는 급히, 나중에는 서서히 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 50-300mtorr의 압력범위에서 압력의 증가에 따라 결정립도(grain size)는 별로 변하지 않았으나 결정립계(grain boundary)의 윤곽이 불확실해지는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 이 압력범위에서는 ${\alpha}-W$만 나타날 뿐 ${\beta}-W$의존재는 발견되지 않았다. 증차압력의 증가에 따라 W막의 증착속도가 증가하고, 비저항도 증가하는 경향을 보였다. AES 분석결과에 의하면, 증착압력온 Si/W의 조성비나 W/Si계면에서의 실리사이드화에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
