ABSTRACTPlasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited tungsten nitride (PECVD-W67N33) thin film has been proposed as a diffusion barrier. The resistivity and lattice constant of PECVD-W67N33 are 110-28 μΩ-cm and 4.134 Å, respectively and this film has compressive stress of 2.6 × 1010 dyne/cm2. Thermal stability of PECVD-W67N33 as a diffusion barrier reveals that the interdiffusions between Al or W and Si substrate can be prevented by N interstitial atoms in fcc-W2N grains and grain boundaries.

ABSTRACTPlasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) silane-based oxides (SiOx) have been widely used in both microelectronics and MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) to form electrical and/or mechanical components. In this paper, a novel nanoindentation-based microbridge testing method is developed to measure both the residual stresses and Young's modulus of PECVD SiOx films. Our theoretical model employed a closed formula of deflection vs. load, considering both substrate deformation and the residual stresses in the thin films. In particular, the non-negligible residual deflection caused by excessive compressive stresses was taken into account. Freestanding microbridges made of PECVD SiOx films were fabricated using bulk micromachining techniques. To simulate the thermal processing in device fabrication, these microbridges were subjected to rapid thermal annealing (RTA) up to 800°C. A microstructure-based mechanism was applied to explain the experimental results of the residual stress changes in PECVD SiOx films after thermal annealing.
