Sputtered Cu films containing various insoluble substances, such as Cu(W2.3), Cu(Mo2.0), Cu(Nb0.4), Cu(C2.1) and Cu(W0.4C0.7), are examined in this study. These films are prepared by magnetron sputtering, followed by thermal annealing. The crystal structure, microstructure, SIMS depth-profiles, leakage current, and resistivity of the films are investigated. Good thermal stability of these Cu films is confirmed with focused ion beam, X-ray diffractometry, SIMS, and electrical property measurements. After annealing at 400°C, obvious drops in resistivity, to ~3.8 μ-cm, are seen for Cu(W) film, which is lower than the other films. An evaluation of the leakage current characteristic from the SiO2/Si metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure also demonstrates that Cu with dilute tungsten is more stable than the other films studied. These results further indicate that the Cu(W) film has more thermal stability than the Cu(Mo), Cu(Nb), Cu(C), Cu(WC) and pure Cu films. Therefore, the film is suitable for the future barrierless metallization.

AbstractA uniform epitaxial CoSi2 layer was grown on (100) Si substrate by rapid thermal annealing at 800°C in N2 ambient without capping layers from an amorphous cobalt-carbon film. The amorphous cobalt-carbon film was deposited on Si substrate by the pyrolysis of cyclopentadienyl dicarbonyl cobalt. Co(η5-C5H5)(CO)2. at 350°C. The leakage current measured on the junction, fabricated with the epitaxial CoSi2 layer and annealed at 1000°C for 30 s. was as low as that of the as-fabricated junction without silicide. indicating that epitaxial (100) CoSi2 is thermally stable at temperatures even above 1000°C and has a potential applicability to the salicide process in sub-half micron devices.

Luminescence and thermal stability of defects formed in alpha-Al2O3 single crystals under pulsed ion beam treatment (C+/H+ ions with an energy 300 keV, pulse duration 80 ns) were investigated. This type of irradiation leads to the intensive generation of both single F- and F+-centers and more complex defects (F2-type aggregate centers or vacancy-impurity complexes) in alpha-Al2O3. It was confirmed by the results of optical absorption, photoluminescence, and pulsed cathodoluminescence measurements. The thermal stability of F-type defects formed in alpha-Al2O3 under the pulsed ion beam treatment is comparable to the stability of radiation-induced defects in neutron-irradiated samples.
