Popis: Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to grow titanium nitride (TiN) on SiO2with TiCl4and N2H4. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ellipsometry were used to characterize film growth. A hydrogen-terminated Si (Si-H) surface was used as a reference to understand the reaction steps on SPM cleaned SiO2. The growth rate of TiN at 573 K doubled on Si-H compared to SiO2because of the formation of Si-N bonds. When the temperature was raised to 623 K, O transferred from Ti to Si to form Si-N when exposed to N2H4. Oxygen and Ti could be removed at 623 K by TiCl4producing volatile species. The added surface reactions reduce the Cl in the film below detection limits.
