摘要: Abstract TaN–Cu nanocomposite thin films used as materials for TFR (thin film resistor) were prepared by reactive co-sputtering of Ta and Cu in the plasma N 2 Ar. After deposition, annealed using rapid thermal processing (RTP) at 400 °C 2, 4, 8 min, respectively to induce nucleation grain growth Cu. The results reveal that temperature coefficient resistivity (TCR) values will increase with content both as-deposited films. nitrogen result higher more negative TCR. At a constant flow rate, TCR may or decrease annealing time depending on content. In general, reach near-zero value, copper is needed compensate effect caused Ta–N. Thus, electrical properties can be characterized functions concentration time.
