Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin film growth technique that uses self-limiting, sequential reactions localized at the growing film surface. It guarantees exceptional conformality on high-aspect-ratio structures and controllability...

The low limit of the deposition temperature for atomic layer deposition (ALD) of noble metals has been studied. Two approaches were taken; using pure oxygen instead of air and using a noble metal starting surface instead of Al2O3. Platinum thin films were obtained by ALD from MeCpPtMe3 and pure oxygen at deposition temperature as low as 200 °C, which is significantly lower than the low-temperature limit of300 °C previously reported for the platinum ALD process in which air was used as the oxygen source. The platinum films grown in this study had smooth surfaces, adhered well to the substrate, and had low impurity contents. ALD of ruthenium, on the other hand, took place at lower deposition temperatures on an iridium seed layer than on an Al2O3 layer. On iridium surface, ruthenium films were obtained from RuCp2 and oxygen at 225 °C and from Ru(thd)3 and oxygen at 250 °C, whereas no films were obtained on Al2O3 at temperatures lower than 275 and 325 °C, respectively. The crystal orientation of the ruthenium films was found to depend on the precursor. ALD of palladium from a palladium β-ketoiminate precursor and oxygen at 250 and 275 °C was also studied. However, the film-growth rate did not saturate to a constant level when the precursor pulse times were increased.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to grow titanium nitride (TiN) on SiO2with TiCl4and N2H4. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ellipsometry were used to characterize film growth. A hydrogen-terminated Si (Si-H) surface was used as a reference to understand the reaction steps on SPM cleaned SiO2. The growth rate of TiN at 573 K doubled on Si-H compared to SiO2because of the formation of Si-N bonds. When the temperature was raised to 623 K, O transferred from Ti to Si to form Si-N when exposed to N2H4. Oxygen and Ti could be removed at 623 K by TiCl4producing volatile species. The added surface reactions reduce the Cl in the film below detection limits.
