Abstract
Molybdenum films have been deposited by sputtering for integrated circuit metallization. The sputtering system used in this study is a sideways depositing batch unit with a rotating wafer drum, operating at a base vacuum range below 5.10/sup -7/ mbar. We have experimentally observed that a Ti-W seed layer deposited underneath molybdenum reduces its resistivity significantly when compared to direct deposition of Mo onto silicon oxide.
