Abstract(in English) We have deposited the W-N diffusion barrier with pulse plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PPALD) method by using WF_6 and NH_3. It is very difficult to deposit W-N film with ALD method by using WF_6 and NH_3 due to the fast Si catalytic reaction with WF_6 since the deposition rate is as low as 0.5 Å/cycle. However, using PPALD method the N content is uniformly distributed into the W-N film. The deposition rate per cycle is ~2.2 Å/cycle in the ALD temperature window of 350~400℃. As a diffusion barrier for the Cu interconnect, high resolution-TEM reveals that 22 nm thick W-N successfully prevents Cu diffusion after annealing at 600℃ for 30 min.
