ABSTRACT:
A sputtering deposition wherein high aspect ratio apertures are coated with conductive films exhibiting low bulk resistivity, low impurity concentrations, and regular morphologies. A collimator is used having an aspect ratio that approximates the aspect ratio of the apertures. The resulting film thickness at the bottom of the aperture is at least 2.times. what can be achieved using conventional sputtering methods. The amount of material deposited at the bottom of the apertures can be further enhanced by elevating the temperature of the substrate (e.g. 450.degree. C.) during the deposition process.
