Abstract

We investigated the growth mechanism and work function of ALD-TiN film on SiO2 and HfSiO films to understand how the workfunction is related to process conditions and starting surface. TiN nucleation rate and growth rate are found to be dependent on the dielectric films. The effective work function of TiN has been changed as a function of film thickness and also affected by dielectric films.
