  • Abstract
    Films of tungsten have been deposited on substrates of silicon by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition, using the reaction of tungsten hexafluoride and hydrogen. The sheet resistance and adhesion of the films has been studied as a function of substrate temperature, gas composition and flow rate, and other reaction parameters, and an activation energy of 0.23 eV is proposed for the reaction. Reliable tungsten films with sheet resistances of the order of 1¿/¿ can be produced.
