Magnetron sputtering plasma for the deposition of copper oxide thin film has been investigated using optical emission spectroscopy and Langmuir probe. The intensity of the light emission from atoms and radicals in the plasma were measured using optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Then, Langmuir probe was employed to estimate the plasma density, electron temperature and ion flux. In present studies, reactive copper sputtering plasmas were produced at different oxygen flow rate of 0, 4, 8 and 16 sccm. The size of copper target was 3 inches. The dissipation rf power, Ar flow rate and working pressure were fixed at 400 W, 50 sccm and 22.5 mTorr, respectively. Since the substrate bias plays an important role to the thin film formation, the substrate bias voltages of 0, -40, -60 and -100 V were studied. Based on OES results, oxygen emission increased drastically when the oxygen flow rate above 8 sccm. On the other hand, copper and argon emission decreased gradually. In addition, Langmuir probe results showed a different ion flux when substrate bias voltage was applied. Based on these plasma diagnostic results, it has been concluded that the optimized parameter to produce copper oxide thin film are between -40 to -60 V of substrate bias voltage and between 8 to 12 sccm of oxygen flow rate.

Titanium nitride (TiN) film has been widely used as a diffusion barrier layer for VLSI contact metallization because TiN is an excellent barrier against inter-diffusion between Al and Si substrate or silicide. In this work, we studied the properties of TiN films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering with varying N2:Ar flow rate ratio in order to optimize growth conditions and film properties provided for Al diffusion barrier purpose. The TiN films were deposited at the constant pressure level and sputtering time. The crystalline orientation, composition and electrical properties of deposited TiN films were characterized by XRD, AES-depth profile and Four Point Probe measurement, respectively. The XRD results show that the deposited TiN film has two preferred orientations of TiN(111) and TiN(200) planes. The highest intensity of the TiN(111) plane was obtained when the N2:Ar flow rate ratio was 3:1. The electrical resistivity was increased when the N2:Ar flow rate ratio was decreased. The minimum electrical resistivity is 127.8 μΩ-cm when the N2:Ar flow rate ratio is 3:1.
