Amosphous diffusion barriers

Amorphous W-Zr and W-N alloys were investigated as diffusion barriers in silicon metallization schemes. Data were presented showing that amorphous W-Zr crystallizes at 900 C, which is 200 C higher than amorphous W-Ni films, and that both films react with metallic overlayers at temperatures far below the crystllization temperature. Also, W-N alloys (crystalline temperature of 600 C) were successfully incorporated as a diffusion barrier in contact structures with both Al and Ag overlayers. The thermal stability of the electrical characteristics of shallow n(+)p junctions significantly improved by incorporating W-N layers in the contact system. One important fact demonstated was the critical influence of the deposition parameters during formation of these carriers.

Materials Data on Zr3W5 by Materials Project

W5Zr3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Zr sites. In the first Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to ten W atoms. There are a spread of Zr–W bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.13 Å. In the second Zr site, Zr is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Zr and eight equivalent W atoms. Both Zr–Zr bond lengths are 2.66 Å. All Zr–W bond lengths are 3.12 Å. There are two inequivalent W sites. In the first W site, W is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Zr and ten W atoms. There are two shorter (2.66 Å) and eight longer (2.97 Å) W–W bond lengths. In the second W site, W is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six Zr and two equivalent W atoms.
