ABSTRACT:
Using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, various layers can be deposited on semiconductor substrates at low temperatures in the same reactor. When a titanium nitride film is required, a titanium film can be initially deposited using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition wherein the plasma is created within 25 mm of the substrate surface, supplying a uniform plasma across the surface. The deposited film can be subjected to an ammonia anneal, again using a plasma of ammonia created within 25 mm of the substrate surface, followed by the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of titanium nitride by creating a plasma of titanium tetrachloride and ammonia within 25 mm of the substrate surface. This permits deposition film and annealing at relatively low temperatures--less than 800.degree. C. When titanium is so deposited over a silicon surface, titanium silicide will form at the juncture which then can be nitrided and coated with titanium or titanium nitride using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of the present invention. Thus, the present method permits the formation of multiple layers of titanium, titanium nitride, titanium silicide over the surface of the substrate in the same reactor.
