摘要 |
Thermal atomic layer deposition processes are provided for growing low resistivity metal carbonitride thin films. Certain embodiments include methods for forming tantalum carbonitride (TaCN) thin films. In preferred embodiments, TaCN thin films with a resistivity of less than about 1000 muOmega.cm are grown from tantalum halide precursors and precursors that contribute both carbon and nitrogen to the growing film. Such precursors include, for example, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), tetramethyldisilazane (TMDS), bisdiethylaminosilane (BDEAS) and hexakis(ethylamino)disilane (HEADS).
