Abstract

We have investigated both the large area excimer laser-induced deposition of W and it silicides on GaAs to form thermally stable Schottky contacts, and the reduction of Cu(I) and Cu(II) compounds for the deposition of Cu interconnects for Si microelectronics. Using a KrF excimer laser at 25 mJ/cm² and a mixture of WF₆, SiH₄ and Ar, metallic W is deposited with an average growth rate of 1 angstrom/pulse. For Cu deposition, the precursor Cu(hfac)(TMVS) gives much purer deposits than the Cu(II) compounds which have been studied. For both processes, possible deposition mechanisms are discussed in terms of gas phase and surface reactions.
