A novel Ru thin film formation method was proposed to deposit metallic Ru thin films on TiN substrate for future backend of line process in semiconductor technologies. RuO2 thin films were first grown on TiN substrate by oxygen plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition technique. The deposited RuO2 thin films were then reduced into metallic Ru thin films by H2/N2-assisted annealing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
