Abstract
A series of titanium compounds, Ti(NMe2)4, t-BuTi(NMe2)3, [Ti(µ-N-t-Bu)(-NMe2)2]2, Ti(t-BuDAD)2 and CpTiC7H7, have been screened in combination with NH3 for their suitability as precursors for the CVD of titanium nitride films at substrate temperatures of 300-600°C and a system pressure of 1.5 Torr. The best TiN layers have been grown using t-BuTi(NMe2)3 and NH3, from which an 0.8 µm thick layer deposited at 400°C. showed a resistivity of 1.4*10-3 Ω*cm and contained 5 atom% carbon and 6 atom% oxygen.
