| 摘要 |
In one embodiment, a method for forming a metal-containing material on a substrate is provided which includes forming a metal containing barrier layer on a substrate by a plasma-enhanced cyclical vapor deposition process, exposing the substrate to a soak process, and depositing a conductive material on the substrate by a second vapor deposition process. The substrate may be exposed to a silicon-containing compound (e.g., silane) during the soak process. In some examples, a metallic nitride layer may be deposited subsequent to the soak process and prior to the second vapor deposition process. In other examples, the metal containing barrier layer contains metallic titanium, the metallic nitride layer contains titanium nitride, and the conductive material contains tungsten or copper. The plasma-enhanced cyclical vapor deposition process may further include exposing the substrate to a nitrogen precursor, such as nitrogen, hydrogen, a nitrogen/hydrogen mixture, ammonia, hydrazine, or derivatives thereof.
