Abstract :
Ruthenium (Ru) is a promising material for the future backend of line of semiconductor technologies beyond 20 nm. In this work, high quality Ru and ruthenium oxide (RuOx) thin films were grown on SiO2 substrates by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) technique using bis-(ethylcyclopentadienyl)-ruthenium [Ru(EtCp)2] as the precursor and oxygen (O2) plasma as the reducing agent. The impacts of O2 plasma and H2 annealing on the film properties will be discussed. Finally, we found a feasible method to control the transition between Ru and RuOx films.
