Ri. Hegde et al., TINCL FORMATION DURING LOW-TEMPERATURE, LOW-PRESSURE CHEMICAL-VAPOR DEPOSITION OF TIN, Applied physics letters, 62(19), 1993, pp. 2326-2328
We report for the first time the existence of the titanium nitride chl
oride (TiNCl) compound in low-temperature (400-degrees-C) low-pressure
chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) TiN films deposited using TiCl4/NH3
chemistry. Thin-film x-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscop
y was used in the film characterization. Physical, chemical, and elect
rical properties of the resulting low-temperature LPCVD TiN films are
discussed.
