  • Abstract
    Metal thin films for IC metallization are currently deposited either from vapor (PVD/CVD) or liquid (e.g. ECD). This paper reports critical bases for full IC metallization using only supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) fluids as a deposition medium. High-aspect-ratio filling capability, (111)-preferential growth, low temperature deposition possibility, important roles of solvent capability of scCO2 including F-less solid precursor utilization, and barrier metal deposition possibility are described.
