摘要: A method for forming a tungsten-containing copper interconnect barrier layer (e.g., tungsten [W] or tungsten-nitride [WxN] layer) on substrate with high greater than 30%) sidewall step coverage and ample adhesion to underlying dielectric layers. The includes first depositing thin titanium-nitride (TiN) tantalum nitride (TaN) nucleation (12) the substrate, followed by formation of (20) W orWxN overlying substrate. can, example, be formed using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) technique that employs fluorine-free gas hexacarbonyl [W(CO)6]) WF6-based Atomic Layer (ALD) technique. presence TiN (or TaN) facilitates tungsten-­containing 30% structure [TAN]) disposed directly single dual-damascene substrate). also WxN using, CVD ALD
